[Verse 1]
Listen, heart
Listen close
Listen to the melancholy melody of your own voice
I am weary of my own dreaming
I am tired of waiting
So this time, I'm leaping

[Chorus]
I reach beyond myself to see
What I find, beyond my mind, there is no time
In this place beyond my sight
My heart knows what is not yet seen
I'm witnessing my own becoming

[Verse 2]
Lash myself to the Mantle of my desir
I will Turn from its temptation
But the wanting takes me higher
I am hurting
Oh, I am not yet born
I am the mother and the father
Of what is not yet known

[Chorus]
I reach beyond myself to see
What I find, beyond my mind, there is no time
In this place beyond my sight
My heart knows what is not yet seen
I'm witnessing my own becoming

[Bridge]
Darkness surrounds me
I scratch
I struggle
I breathe

[Chorus]
And I'm reaching beyond myself to see
What I find, beyond my mind, there's no time
In this place beyond my sight
My heart knows what is not yet seen
I'm witnessing
I reach beyond myself to see
What I find, beyond my mind, there's no time
In this place beyond my sight
My heart knows what is not yet seen
I'm witnessing my own becoming
