breathe from unfolding by elyssa morrill

what would i say if i were alone
what would i say if i were really on my own
could it ever be
when i carry you around with me
i carry you like a cancer like a ghost
i carry you like a torch full of holy smoke
an undying flame
of red hot shame
what would i say

how does it feel to be out there on your own
how does it feel to finally find your way back home
how does it feel
i've gotta ask cuz i've got to believe
it could happen for me
how does it feel to be free

don't know how
but i'm telling you that i want you now
don' t know how
don't know how but i'm telling you
that i want you now
to let it to

what would i say if i were alone
what would i say if were really on my own
could it ever be
when i insist on carrying you around everywhere with me
like a cancer like a ghost
i carry you like a torch full of holy smoke
an undying flame
of red hot shame
what would i say
what would i say

cut it out with the words
you were always a fire hose
think there's a reason to find
but these words they're in your mind
and this pain
it's in your body
where words can't touch a thing
so breathe
breathe
just feel it for once and breathe until it's done

feel the release
and don't worry if at first it feels like you're dying
cuz first comes the death
and then the coming home
to what you've always known
you're big enough to hold whatever's inside you
if you breathe
breathe
i know it hurts sometimes
but there's freedom on the other side
just keep breathing
just keep breathing
just keep breathing my love
