Stifled for the years of my life
Striving to be delicate, striving to be sweet
Striving to be hopeless, striving to be meek
Melt the ice queen, illuminate my fears
Turn back my mind, wipe all these tears
Make a heart of gold, make the girl smile
Watch in pure bliss, stay for a little while
Dreaming of the fearless, tall and dark and brave
Wanting to be vulnerable, the time this heart has made
Fill in the missing corner, these corners of my heart
Mend my weaknesses, rise back what fate will start
The words strung in my head, peaking at 3 a.m.
Striving to be brave for me, for him and her learning
Driving down a broken road, breaking the inevitable falls
Igniting the oil in my soul, tearing down the Berlin walls
Finding a reason to be happy, to cry in front of you
All the things I never said, all these are truths
Writing down the miseries, counting down the hours
Till I break free from my shell, till I lend my voice
Create a nation of truehearts, symphony of noise
Go on and curve the corners of my heart
They weren't built that strong
But live on they will, in my own words
Firing my will
My will to stay the person
I thought I was meant to be
What I convinced myself I must
Stay to stay just me
To please the ones whose trust I sought
To gain with no return
these words I write to me, not you
So selfish I must remain
The thoughts inside my aching head
Build a new homestead
Haven for the troubled thoughts
The ones I sought to hide
Haven for the darkest words
In no one I could confide
So I'll open this corner of my heart
Perhaps just for a day
Let the river of passion run wild
Then write it to press replay
