I am the marrow, the roots and the toil The sun and the slow tide that moves through the soil The time in the tall trees, the wave in the grass The memory of water that sings through the glass Know your mind Fear the pools that are shallow and bright Go below, find the means to an end Hold on to yourself Know that the legends you would forge begin at the ending Mortar and tendons easing back into dust Even as you ascend, remember: you are descending Leaving your tracks to weave and dance in the dusk My eyes are seeing long ago I am the marrow, the will of the stone The sleep and the fury, the song in the bone The sand through your hands and the words in your ear The heart of your longing, the truth in you fears All you touch am I Know the world It is what it is Accept and atone Go beyond and it matters no more Hold on to yourself I am the marrow, the voice in the night The wind in the darkness, the leaves in the light The pain in your gut and the blood on your mouth The drowning within that you can't breathe Can't breathe without Know your mind Own your name Hold on to yourself I am the marrow, the blood and the soul
