Ape your father's sins, your mother's mood swings To perfection Fall into a spin, shed another skin Strip away all your protection Laugh at the wonder of it all Laugh so loud you break the fall And you see the gathering clouds Cry at the sadness of the world Cry so long you break its cold And you hear the gathering sounds Do everything you fear In this there's power Fear is not to be afraid of Laugh at the wonder of it all Laugh so loud you break your fall And you hear the gathering sounds Come, dip on in Leave your bones, leave your skin Leave your past, leave your craft Leave your suffering heart
