Wild Child

Today

I compromise like every other day

But no, not in the same way

This time it's different

This time it's quite deliberate

Because...

The setting I've been on

Hasn't been working

And so we've had to tear some things down

I've had to sever some appendages

Throw them in salt waters

And watch them drown

Even the mirror I once held up

Yes, that too has had to go

And what tomorrow shall bring

Only God would know

But I had to prune this fucker

Because it's time to grow

Time for my sprouts to emerge from the snow

I am melting all the frozen

So the wind can come and blow

And cast away what's broken

Cause none of that is me

The true me is whole

The true me has treasures deep

That it's about bloody time I show
