Unique Lyrics

How can I express

What's never been said

Since the dawn of time

What do I profess

That I wasn't fed

Are my thoughts not mine

Diverse ideas swim and swirl

Forming whirlpools in my mind

Cuz when I surf the world wide web

My views are often realigned

In this ocean of opinions

In this sea of information

Can I hold all of my doubts at bay

Can I drown out all the noise

And find my inspiration

In this city sitting by the bay

In this city by the bay

Now I must confess

Qualms quickly emerge

Of whether I belong

Yet I can't suppress

This creative urge

To pen my thoughts in song

Take off my old rose-colored glasses

Replace them with some new contacts

Discover beauty in the blur

Between my feelings and the facts

In this ocean of opinions

In this sea of information

I will hold all of my doubts at bay

I will drown out all the noise

And find my inspiration

In this city sitting by the bay

In this city by the bay

But alone when I sit down to write

Draw a blank, nothing comes to mind

And I'm left searching for the light

In the shadows of a starless night

And my tongue is restlessly unclear

Paralyzed like an injured deer

In the road as though I've lost my voice

Drowning in a current of white noise

But my mind will not admit defeat

And my heart provides the inner beat

So my voice will resolutely speak

With the knowledge that I am unique

So I wait for inspiration's touch

Sense the beauty 'round me feel the rush

And explore the depths inside my mind

To reveal what's hidden in plain sight

Stitch together glimpses yet unspilt

Place the pictures in a patchwork quilt

Woven with the lessons I have stored

That the world has never seen before
