about

written by Darryl Purpose on a break in a hotel room in Reno with a broken heart

lyrics

I stand before you
Naked before you
No clothing over me
To cover what I was, before you

My skin is falling
From me it's falling
Don't try to catch it let it
hit the ground lets see what matters

My bones are shining
Bright but not broken
You can hold onto them
Climb up to the sky on them

My heart is beating
Look how it's beating
Open and messy
Strong and correct like water

True as the River
I stand before you
Naked before you
True as the River
