Becoming by Emily Merrell Lyrics

I find my eyes in every face I see
Though looking near, my gaze is far away
Survive the fire by reaching for the flame

My heart beat drums inside another chest
How can I keep the blade away?
I hear my voice in every word that they say—
How vague the tone, it’s still familiar

I lay my weapons down by taking aim
I’m vindicated leaving with the blame

Each time I find your feet within my shoes
Leaping, I dance without a single move
I see your smile appear on every face
I send a kiss into the quiet air

I’m running though my legs are broken
And I’m calling out your name, though I cannot speak

I find my dreams within a memory
The past is dawning far ahead of me
What I have not become I will reclaim
Survive the fire by reaching for the flame
