Blink Beyond

Cold in the corner of a waking sky A little shadow still survives Yesterday’s words I couldn’t hold Are breathing softly deep inside Some voices rise like they were born to fly They cross the air without a bruise I used to hide behind my smile And wear the silence like good news But then a line of light Fell through the window of my doubt And touched the part of me I thought would never make a sound Blink beyond There’s another world I almost see Past the fear, past the glass Something bright is reaching me With these shaking hands I can carry one small note It doesn’t have to be perfect now It just has to be my own In the hush between the day and dark I found the pieces I had dropped Tiny hopes with quiet wings Waiting where I thought they’d stop I watched the distance dressed in gold And wondered if I’d always stay Half a step behind my heart Half a word away But every time I breathe The air remembers where to go And every little spark Is teaching me what I should know Blink beyond There’s another world I almost see Past the fear, past the glass Something bright is reaching me With these shaking hands I can carry one small note It doesn’t have to be forever now It just has to help me grow I don’t need a storm to prove The sky is changing color I don’t need a perfect voice To tell the truth I’m under If a whisper can survive Then maybe I can too Maybe all this fragile light Was always leading through When the night gets thin And the edges start to glow I can feel a door Opening in my soul Blink beyond There’s another world beginning here Not too far, not too faint I can feel it coming near Every broken thought Every almost I have known Turns into a thread of gold Leading somewhere I can go Blink beyond There’s another world inside of me Past the doubt, past the ache Past the girl I used to be With these trembling hands I can finally hold this hope It doesn’t have to be flawless now It just has to let me know I am more than all the words I couldn’t say before More than all the quiet nights Waiting at the door And if my voice still shakes Let it shake into the blue There is something past this moment And I’m brave enough to move Blink beyond There’s another world I almost see Past the fear, past the glass Something bright is reaching me With these open hands I can carry one small note It doesn’t have to be perfect now It just has to lead me home Lead me home Lead me home Past the silence, past the old Into light I’ve never known Blink beyond And let me go
