Vertigo of Freedom

Abismo Cavado e Medicado

I stop at the edge, this isn't a bridge, it's a void
A thousand doors open, and none of them lead anywhere
Every choice I put off is already a choice made
My body freezes, but the clock won't wait

It's not fear of falling, it's fear of power
To face the abyss and know that I can choose
No one comes to hold my hand on the ledge
The vertigo isn't the fall it's seeing that I could be anything bad

It's the anguish of everything I'm not yet
It's the ground disappearing when I realize I'm going
There's no rope, no safety net, no saint on duty
Just the leap and the silence of my decision

Vertigo of freedom the void that calls to me
Vertigo of freedom every choice becomes a flame
It's not the abyss that scares me
It's knowing that I can jump

Everyone wants an answer, I just carry the question
A torn map, a silent compass
Faking certainty is the easiest way to run away
But the ground keeps disappearing beneath me

They taught me that freedom is a celebration, it's relief
No one told me it weighs like a building
On my chest, on my choice, on what I'll become
The more I can do anything, the more I'm afraid to walk

It's the anguish of everything I'm not yet
It's the ground that vanishes when I realize I'm leaving
There's no rope, no safety net, no guardian angel on duty
Just the leap and the silence of my decision

Vertigo of freedom the void that calls to me
Vertigo of freedom every choice turns into a flame
It's not the abyss that scares me
It's knowing that I can jump

I, can, do, anything
And that's, what, paralyzes, me
No one, comes, to choose, for me
The leap is mine

If I don't jump, someone else will jump for me
And call it destiny, fate, the end
I'd rather feel the vertigo than live on my knees
I'd rather face the void than pretend I've already made the right choice

Dizziness of freedom the void that calls to me
Dizziness of freedom every choice turns into a flame
It's not the abyss that scares me
It's knowing that I can jump

I choose, even without ground beneath me
