Holy Water

Midnight stop on the street
Red light feet on the ground
And it feels right
Quiet besides the engine I
Escape into paradise
It goes green
And I'm back at top speed
Not another body in sight
I am this perspective
I'm the witness tonight

I am alone
But I'm alive

Every drop of holy water
Comes from the ocean
From the ocean
Every atom in my body
Comes from exploding stars
Billions of years ago

Outside craning your neck
Blue sky stretching your back with your arms wide
Taking deep breaths to purify
Pretty sure that you could be certified
There is no Goddamned thing in sight
It's all deemed good in his eyes
You are this perspective
Here to witness the light

You are alone
But you're alive

Every drop of holy water
Comes from the ocean
From the ocean
Every atom in my body
Comes from exploding stars
Billions of years ago

All that rises must converge
It's only pain that makes us learn
Exclusive, separate turns infinite to infant
So I dive in and I get burned
The depths are deep, and dark, and hurt
Baptize and resurrect
Each death a new perspective

Every drop of holy water
Comes from the ocean
From the ocean
Every atom in my body
Comes from exploding stars
Billions of years ago

Every drop is holy water
All of us are sons and daughters
Every breath inhaled is heaven sent

Midnight stop on the street
Red light feet on the ground
And it feels right
Quiet besides the engine I
Escape into paradise
It goes green
And I'm back at top speed
Not another body in sight
I am this perspective
I'm the witness tonight
