Lyrics
Desire begins where silence breaks
It grows with every move one makes
No hand imposed this weight I bear
The want was built constructed there
No outside force has drawn this line
The thought was seeded wholly mine
Each longing forged by choice or fear
Each shape of want made sharp and clear
Desire is the chain I tie
I wear it low I wear it high
No one else has locked this gate
The hand was mine The key was fate
When craving cools and breath is still
The world no longer bends my will
Freedom lives where nothing clings
In space between imagined things
Notice thought
Let it pass
Leave the flame
Clear the glass
Stand and see
What self has spun
A thousand wars
But only one
Desire is a vow I made
To need the sun avoid the shade
But peace begins when I let be
And claim no lack inside of me
Each day unmake what once was tied
No more to grasp No more to hide
