can't you hear?
can't you hear my fear?
anticipation of this revelation
expecting only grave humiliation
from the secret kept within
way down deep beneath my skin
to pretend that it will end all by itself,
a malicious fantasy that is
destroying my mental health
whisper a prayer to the goddess
with my knees upon the sand
tears of fire scald my face
and burn holes in my hand
secrets and lies are the seeds i have sown
cast aside my veil and let my life become my own
shadows of deceit are all i see overhead
while the firedrops of truth
turn my eyes crimson red
i look inside myself and
see the tidal waves of pain
overflow in my soul while the firedrops rain
down on me,
for all to see,
may the Powers that be
grant a moment of tranquility
within me... so finally
for once my heart will be free.
gather my strength to stand up,
face the crowd,
yelling so loud that the gods would be proud
and my voice is on fire...
it's starting to smoke
aimed right at their pride,
they're starting to choke
they're gasping for air,
falling out of their chairs
pulling out their hair
"come on, I challenge anyone who dares
to make me feel disgraced
& run out of this place!
Let my fire slap you square in your face..."
i just need you to hear my confessions of fear
as my pain disappears
drowned in these fiery tears
that have been falling for years...
you will let me be,
let my spirit see what it means to be free
away from the chains of my captivity,
the doubt,
the fear,
which all of you now hear...
