A Million voices urge me on
But they're all up inside my head
A million hands that judge my work
Could they all be wrong

I try my best, I give my all
Weaving patterns in the air
Hear the melodies
Weaving sounds inside your head

**Bridge**
And all of these melodic waves
Will they wash me out to sea
I'd be lost eternally
And though the rain clouds never lift
They block my vision of the world
Let the rain pour down on me

**Chorus**
'Cause I will rise, I will burn
My vision will clear as my heart it yearns
Sweat droplets form on my face
Wipe my brow and I'll struggle on

-------------

Poems words and paper waste
Tools of trade, my great mistakes
Come together, bear my soul
My story to the whole wide world is told

Never once, Never twice
Captured the essence of my life
Stay awake don't sleep tonight
Sunrise makes everything alright

Bridge + Chorus

-------------

And everything that I'm missing
Lies locked inside my head
...don't dare to dive too deep...

And every lie and every whisper
Already put them down to pen
My life's notation scrawled for you (And only you)

The public eye forms its opinion
Harsh and cruel and always cold
Ignore the crowd they're easily led (They're easily led)

-------------

I say what I mean, I mean what I say
I'm pullin the strings of the puppets in the play
I'm all by myself getting further away
In my virtual world where night turns to day
(repeated)

Sometimes I wonder what I'm doing this for
Sometimes I wonder what this crying is for


I don't know, I don't know....what I'm doing this for
(Don't tell me what is wrong what is right)

I don't know.....what this crying is for
(Don't tell me that I'm wasting my time)
