If I let you see
Some parts of my history
Would they set me free
Wiping clean the deeds
See flowers disguised as weeds
Drink blood the soul bleeds
Blinded by the shame
Memories screaming my name
Silence, play the game
Help me to save face
Vanquishing nightmares that chase
Seeking love’s pure grace

It’s more important
How you feel about the goal
Then when you’ll get there

Oh, bits of brilliance
Flashes of inspirations
Growing into dreams

What you tell yourself
You want it to be better
You’re letting it go
What you tell yourself
I feel it’s getting better
I believe I’m free
What you tell yourself
My life keeps getting better
Life responds in kind

One is never lost
Merely awaiting green lights
To continue on

We give words power
The allure of a promise
Brings hope to a heart
