lyrics

Another day, I hide away my hide
Me and silence, walking side by side
So much to say, so little fight
Trepidation remains my finest blight

Another week down, I'm unfulfilled
Tendency to dodge my dreams distilled

Made a choice: found my voice

But what of the naysayers?
Those rabble rousers
Will they break this fragile need?
Stone these words to watch them bleed

Another month, I decide to decide
Quill and parchment, my soul bared line by line
So much to give, so little time
Consternation thwarts my pint-sized pride

Another year gone, constrict my range
Too afraid to chance the choice to change

Made a choice: raise my voice

But what of the naysayers?
Those rabble rousers
Muckraking mudslingers

Will they break this fragile need?
Stone these words to watch them bleed
Make no sound - neither will they
Refusal now to live that way
