Triggers and Glimmers

Triggers and glimmers
The faith of therapy
Inside the outcome
Maybe your reality

You hold the report
Like a blade in your palm
Smiling for the room
While the storm stays calm

Destruction of what you love
Keeps hiding your shame
The mirror of disease
Shows up just the same

Fall down, rise up
On your knees
Fall down, rise up
What do you believe?

Fall down, rise up
On your knees
Fall down, rise up
Tell me what you see

The bruise learns your face
Before you learn its shape
Every clean-looking answer
Leaves another scrape

You trace every crack
In the skin of the day
Trying to name the hurt
Before it looks away


Destruction of what you love
Keeps hiding your shame
The mirror of disease
Shows up just the same

Fall down, rise up
On your knees
Fall down, rise up
What do you believe?

Fall down, rise up
On your knees
Fall down, rise up
Tell me what you see


Maybe your reality
Is a room with no door
Maybe healing is
What you can’t ignore

Hold the trembling truth
Don’t let it go numb
Even shattered things
Can still become

Fall down, rise up
On your knees
Fall down, rise up
What do you believe?

Fall down, rise up
On your knees
Fall down, rise up
Tell me what you see
