What if these are the last words I ever get to say
And the only reminders left
Are chips in teeth from where they made their way
Out of my head
To where they need to be
Into embodiments of broader thoughts
I've come to let define meTurn this body to a time capsule
To, one day, be opened up
Hoping it translates well
That burns and scars we made were deep enough
To keep spirits high when legs won't run
Options seem exhausted
Diving deeper than the skin
Exploring depths and knowing what the cost isWhat if these are the last words I ever get to say
And the only reminders left
Are chips in teeth from where they made their way
Out of my head
To where they need to be
Into embodiments of broader thoughts
I've come to let define meI thought we were all in this together
And I still want to
So I still will
Can you proud
Of what defines you
And all you've heard about yourself
What do you let define you?What if these are the last words I ever get to say
And the only reminders left
Are chips in teeth from where they made their way
Out of my head
To where they need to be
Into embodiments of broader thoughts
I still want to believeIt's not a contest
But we're all trying to place
The finish line, it does exist
But these ribbons are all myth
And that's fine
A chance to make myself mine
Find definition
And clarify my placeAnd that's fine
A chance to make myself mine
Find definition
And clarify my place
