What happens when the words aren't there,
when you seek the path shrouded by clouds?
Can you find the place to deeply inhale,
learn to know you're your own solid ground?Other people can't make you better
even if a spark could save your life,
it should be upfront and simple
but your heart's caught under a knife
You need to know you're understood,
Need to know you're so much more
You can't begin to find your way,
paralyzed with doubt on the floor
You are a woman of words and verse,
You're a musician who seeks lyrics and beats,
You can't keep hiding behind empty words and lies
as you take the easy way with your mind and feet
Tell me now why I can't reach out
why I am wrong to want a friend?
Tell me I am stupid to desire reconnection,
when I see what a gift time lends?
I am not the monster here
Nor rent with futile guilt
I have not made any foolish moves,
even when life's begun to tilt
I only know this can't go on
I can't replace that old opaque mask
the "Ice Princess" could say what you wanted to hear
my current self has no energy for that task
I long for my true authentic self
I yearn for the day I am free
There's nothing more gorgeous than passion unwrapped
when your eyes smile so confidently
