Lyrics
I walk the rooms I used to know
Dust motes turn where curtains blow
A mirror answers back with doubt
I stare, I sure can live without
I trace the lines I used to trust
Collect the pieces and adjust
Footsteps echo of myself
I tremble on the edge of hell
Walls keep whispering names I hide
Louder as the voice inside
I wore a mask to keep from falling through
It fits so well I almost thought it's true
My greatest foe is I myself
I throw my secrets from the shelf
Just when I flee
I will not hide
Expose my soul, expose my pride
Tear the binding, let the pages fall
I am author of it all
Just when I flee
I cannot see
Expose my soul, expose my kind
City lights blur like scattered stars
I count the miles that leave their scars
Every promise folded in my coat
I speak up and they sail like a paper boat
I barter silence for a fragile piece
It keeps the ache on leaf
Barefoot walk on the ice
The future comes and roll the dice
The thunder answers for the things I love
Lightning strikes where I'm most cared of
I built these bridges out of borrowed time
I'll cross them now though I might fall in line
My greatest fear is I myself
I throw my secrets from the shelf
Just when I flee
I will not hide
Expose my soul, expose my pride
Tear the binding, let the pages fall
I am author of it all
Just when I flee, I cannot see
Expose my soul, expose my kind
No more lockers for the shame and doubt
No more locks to keep me fenced about
I'll sing the lines I learned in private rooms
Let the public climb and clear the gloom
If the world will judge what I reveal
Let it witness what I tried to heal
I choose the risk of being known
Better lonely truth than hollow throne
Secrets like paper, secrets like rain
They stain my sleeve and wash the game
Heart beat louder, feelings numb
How could I ever be so
My greatest fear is I myself
I throw my secrets from the shelf
Just when I flee, I will not hide
Expose my soul, expose my pride
Tear the binding, let the pages fall
I am author of all
Just when I flee, I will not hide
Expose my soul, expose my pride
Keep those pages, turn them new
Read the lines where I am true
My fiercest foe was always me
I set the hidden stories free
