I thought I had completed FAWM with my last lyric... until I noticed that one of the songs was in there twice due to a collaboration. And I really need to get to Costco... but I really wanted to finish FAWM today... and this lyric came from that tension. Enjoy.
Almost out of time - I feel the pressure
My head is getting ready to explode
Breathing deeply doesn’t make me calmer
I just want to hit the open road
But I’m bound on the ground
and I’ve found that there’s no way out
Close my eyes, kiss the skies,
pray the wise man can kill my doubt
Glancing at the clock - just past eleven
There’s a tingle in my temple and my jaw
Torn between two tasks and two masters
Feeling guilty without breaking any law
Now I’m bound on the ground
and I’ve found that there’s no way out
Close my eyes, kiss the skies,
pray the wise man will kill my doubt
So I’m listening… I’m listening…
For a word in the ear or the heart
I’m listening… still here listening…
An ending is also a start
Air enters my lungs now, only slower
I know that I am nearing the end
Peace washes over my whole being
It’s freeing to not need to defend
I was bound on the ground
but I’ve found my own way through
Closed my eyes, kissed the skies,
prayed the wise man truly knew
Didn’t take long, just a song
from a spark that I followed down
I can breathe once again.
Now it’s past time to blow this town.

Great flow to this lyric and invokes the tension and release. May I try to put this music at some point during FAWM?
