oh
i fear a new galaxy is growing
inside of my skin
and maybe that's a beautiful thought to you
but it is terrifying
why?
have you ever birthed a supernova before?
it is not a simple task
oh
it takes strength men do not possess
it takes a new kind of brave
a new sort of simplicity
and humble bones
what if i don't own those qualities?
i don't want to tear a part a life
mine or these young stars
oh
lightening is stretching across my skin now
white and deep
thunder in the form of fears rumbling
storms of  tears pelting the floor
i think it's almost here
here comes the fire
the meteor shower
the burst 
flame
oh
