Uncooked

be present at this one moment

and feel what it’s like to just be

alive now, raw, uncooked, potent

bloody to look at, not easy

and feel what it’s like to just be

find again where your secrets hide

bloody to look at, not easy

put them under a tree and sigh

find again where your secrets hide

smile at the stranger that nods

put them under a tree and sigh

we are all in our best facades

smile at the stranger that nods

controlled behavior might freak out

we are all in our best facades

so what if I broke the devout

controlled behavior might freak out

defy courtesy and live free

so what if I broke the devout

illogical screamed in the street

defy courtesy and live free

would you please take my hand and run

illogical screamed in the street

run away with me and have fun

would you please take my hand and run

light a bonfire with secrets

run away with me and have fun

bind my secret shame and forget

light a bonfire with secrets

your secret shame, let go of it

bind my secret shame and forget

I hold you, we dance in a fit

your secret shame, let go of it

be present at this one moment

I hold you, we dance in a fit

alive now, raw, uncooked, potent
