Show Yourself

I, I, I… re-re-re… lee-ee-ease… you-u-u
I, I, I… re-re-re… cee-ee-eive… you-u-u
You can call her back back back back, back to you
Ika tai tai tai tai bai bai dai dai dai dai dai dai dai
A new life is birthing
I peek out from patterns
Eyes peel back the lanterns
This surf is a swift one
It’s a delicate thrashing
This undertow daunting
The task is at hand
And not a moment too soon
When doubled and breaking
All wide-eyed and crazy
You’ll whisper sweet something’s
To the one you are saving
Your mirror and likeness
Your servant and highness
The Earth in one being
Your body, the Queen
I do not show this skin for you
I show myslf to know myself
I show it for the Earth from which I came
My prayr is for you to do the same
I release you… I receive you…
You can call her back back back back, back to you
Ika tai tai tai tai bai bai dai dai dai dai dai dai dai
It will take all we’ve got
It will spread it like comfort
Will out all the insides
And doubt all the corners
And when doubled and breaking
All wide-eyed and crazy
You’ll whisper sweet something’s
To the one you are saving
Your mirror and likeness
Your servant and highness
The Earth in one being
Your body, the Queen
I do not show this skin for you
I show myself to know myself
I show it for the Earth from which I came
My prayer is for you to do the same
