self benediction (meteor)

It takes place without warning, I hit the black ice
Fishtailing towards the divide
The wheels aren't responding, a deafening rumbling
And I wonder what the crash will feel like

And I can't get to sleep that night
It replays in my head
I steered the wrong way, made it all worse instead
And I might not get this lucky next time

Most days I can't tell if the wreck is oncoming
Or if I'm already in the aftermath
I live in slow motion, not quite in control
White-knuckled and wishing for rest

But I will say it until it feels true
I demand to be well
And life will not feel so unlivable forever
Fishtailing towards the divide

And I have this dream where I pass out while I'm singing
My knees hit the risers in the music wing
And there's no roof anymore, the auditorium's dark
And each voice in the choir is an orbiting star
And I am the meteor, it's a long way
I am the meteor, it's a long way
I am the meteor, and it's a long way to fall

And the blue of our robes becomes the ocean below
Surrender, surrender, I'm drifting to shore

I will be well
I will be well
I will be well
