Before

Before I grow
I've seen from down below
I'd just not know

Before I grow
There was no place to hide
Couldn't even try

Now I feel I can't try
I can't see enough tides
To pull me back again

Oh I know, and I've seen
Revelation's assist
Half of me is gone to the void

Before I grow
I've seen from down below
I'd just not know

I could swear I could be
Anything I knew

By the time I'd let me sing
The truth that it had meant to me
By the time I'd have no fear
Before it bumped into me

Now I feel I can't try
I can't see enough tides
To pull me back again

And the taste of my past
Is crumbling to run ahead
To find another piece of me, denied
