Mae - A Race For Our Autonomy Lyrics

I remember pacing back and forth in our cluttered room in wait of your reply
That was the day I found the strength to say those things and look you in the eye
The symbiotic nature of this bond is hardly paying in
Those dividends are shrinking again
With choices lento make, chains to break, to forfeit is to win

It seems you're catching on to me
You're on to me I know
You've always been that part of me
That part that won't let go
A self-fulfilling prophecy
A heat that's frozen cold
When frightened by autonomy
We both refuse to grow
So I must ask

Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
There is no love in fear
So where do we go from here?

I know we've heard our share of broken promises yet hang on every word
But when the past becomes the present such resentment in hard lines getting blurred
Whoever got anywhere without the pulse of another beating heat?
Those memories are falling apart now
With choices left to make, chains to break, to forfeit is to start

It seems you're catching on to me
You're on to me I know
You've always been that part of me
That part that won't let go
A self-fulfilling prophecy
A heat that's frozen cold
When frightened by autonomy
We both refuse to grow
So I must ask

Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
There is no love in fear
So where do we go from here?

I see you catching up to me
And with it you should know
There is a hope where none should be
In time from letting go
It's giving into honesty
And taking back control
A race for our autonomy
A heat that's full of hope

The race is on
The race is on
The race is on
The race is on
