This track was a pure outpouring of energy in motion. You'll notice that some of the words are not even voices, that was just to give way to the moans and groans that idea of losing all of my patriarchs erupted in my soul.

lyrics

Oh I Feel So Vulnerable
Oh My Baba's Gone
Oh I feel so Vulnerable
Oh My Father's gone

I Don't know Where to Go from Here
I Don't know Where to Go from Here

If I
Could Cry
Always
I would
But I'll hide
Inside
My pain
For good

Oh I Feel So Vulnerable
Oh My Baba's Gone
Oh I feel so Vulnerable
Oh My Father's gone

I Don't know Where to Go from Here
I Don't know Where to Go from Here

What am I gonna' do?
All of the men who raised me, have flown away.
I'm all alone it seems.

Closed Eyes
Closed Caskets
Embraced with Love
They Rise the Fastest
Seeing beyond Now
Into Ever
Hoping the heart weighs light as a feather
Pain is the surgeon
Who reveals the souls hiding
Filtered and Masked
Meticulously tasked
Judging from the shadows
Cast upon a stream of tears
Wings ; granted, outstretched
In hand a warriors spear
Beyond the reach of Human concern
Blessed never to return
Lesson Learned
