lyrics by: Allison Balanc
Cenote Rising is a performance that continually evolves and changes based on the energy and feeling of each space. While each iteration is a sung ritual and invocation that recalls the sacredness of Cenotes in Latin American tradition....every moment considers and asks questions between singer and audience. The air is purified with snakes as staffs that breathe healing smokes through the audience, cleansing and energetically bonding with those present.
we hold space for our darkness, our love, and our will to move forward with each other and ourselves
portal together to a resonant world of live bass vibration, thundering glass, and manually modulated volume
onward onward,
onward onward
onward onward
onward onward
Tears that I've cried as I've doubted my worth
Cleanse my path forward as I walk the earth
Keeping me flowing so I can keep on going
I push back to myself
i push back to myself
I push back through myself
Closer to that knowing
Closer to that knowing
Closer to that knowing
Closer to that knowing
There's a fire in me that burns any dread
it then lights my way to that journey ahead
There's a trail of ashes that follows behind
Forget how far I've come, it's always there to remind me
remind me
THERE'S A VOICE IN MY HEAD
THAT CUTS THROUGH THAT FOG
IT TELLS ME I'M NOT GOOD ENOUGH AND I'M DOING THIS WRONG
I SHOUT OUT THROUGH THE DISTANCE TO CUT THROUGH THAT HAZE.
WITH EACH REBEL YELL I SCREAM THERE COMES A BRIGHTER DAY
A BRIGHTER DAY
A BRIGHTER DAY
A BRIGHTER DAY
onward, onward
onward onward
onward onward
I push back to myself
I push back through myself
I push back to myself and right back through that self
