Throwing Muses - Shimmer

listen for the sound of pulsing beats.
my voice is now the sound of the street
when rhythm takes control im hoping rhythm shows that ive been growing
or maybe go unnoticed
even though you swore if we had justified our wrongs
im tired im begging and this is my response

and know that I
am more alive than I have ever felt
I only want to make this count

this is my time to shimmer and shine
under bright lights I'll come alive
can you see it? the subtle skin so radiant
I'll be home this winter but I swear never again

listen for the sound of heartbeats racing I am hesitant and pacing
my new pulse is pounding blood over every line and canvas I can
touch apon an answer theres nothing quick enough to hand in
so hold me close and I will race
listen for the sights and sounds of sudden change

this is my time to shimmer and shine
under bright lights I'll come alive
can you see it? the subtle skin so radiant
I'll be home this winter but I swear never again

this is for
everyone and everything
my hope spills out my heart gives way
im breaking ground no I can't fake it now
and I am shutting up im closing out
my soul begs for a change right now
this is my cause this is my life
im standing up and taking mine

this is my time to shimmer and shine
under bright lights I'll come alive
can you see it? the subtle skin so radiant
I'll be home this winter but I swear never again

this is for
everyone and everything
my hope spills out my heart gives way
im breaking ground no I can't fake it now
and I am im shutting up im closing out
my soul begs for a change right now
I'm taking mine
this is my life
