Glow Trails

Breath burns white

Goggles full of blue sky

Edges bite ice

Every turn a sharp line

Lift towers shrinking

Behind me in a blur

Heartbeats drumming

In my chest

Getting stirred

Wind in my teeth

Can’t feel my feet

Gravity calling my name

I lean into fear

Trail disappears

I’m racing flames

High speed skiing down the mountain

Let the cold rush flood my veins

Every second

Drop

I’m counting

Chasing thunder through the spray

High speed skiing down the mountain

I don’t brake

I ride the shake

If this hill’s the edge of everything

I’m okay

I’m wide awake

Poles tucked in

Snow dust in my grin

Gate flags snapping

As I carve through the pins

Friends just specks

At the top

Looking small

I’m a streak

In a white waterfall

Wind in my teeth

Can’t feel my feet

Gravity calling my name

I lean into fear

Trail disappears

I’m racing flames

[whispered vocals] Faster

Faster

[louder] Feel the ground bend under me

Tracks like lasers

Burning bright where they can see

[build-up] Count it down

Four

Three

Two—

I drop

I drop

Straight through the view
