Midnight High

We wait for the night
For that first sign of light
is the key to the locks
on the cages where we rot
we break free into the brush
feet rustling through the leaves
away from the trees
to the cliff of misty seas
And we stop and we gasp
At the freedom we just grasped
Ecstasy rolls in
like a tide to our fins
We howl at the moon
Like a horn to start the race
Then we're off on a whim!
back into the forest space

Midnight high
Midnight high
Keep on looking toward the sky
breath in all the crystal stars
until our lungs collapse overcharged
This night pays
overlays
all the days of exhaustion and demands
Drink the light reflecting off the river
Spit into the air and watch it shimmer

Rocky waves push the land
We hold fire in our hands
Shaking soil beneath our feet
Our souls dive into the creek
we injected lights of fireflies
to bring sparkles in our giant eyes
And in the dark it's so easy to see
Our significance to this earth
How you are apart of me
We shall run back to that cliff with both eyes closed
Trusting all in which we hold
and we will make our own laws
in our world of beautiful flaws

Midnight high
Midnight high
Keep on looking toward the sky
breath in all the crystal stars
until our lungs collapse overcharged
This night pays
overlays
all the days of exhaustion and demands
Drink the light reflecting off the river
Spit into the air and watch it shimmer

Our bodies will float
rocks, water, or the mist
It's all depends on how much you can trust
this high
Midnight high
