Unknown Lyrics

I've been afraid of letting go

Pursuing dreams I used to know

Moving forward in the light

I hope they don't reject me

I gave it all up years ago

Images of playing shows

Singing out into the night

Did giving up protect me

But here I am

No excuses anymore

You see, my friend

I've had enough of closing off the open doors

So as I stand

And write another melody

Both my hands

Are open to receive what comes to me

Can I make up for years ago?

Or have I moved too far away from spotlights' glow

Will I be satisfied to try?

Or will my visions lead me deep into a lie

Until I finally die unknown

I told myself I tried before

A failed attempt, a badge I wore

I acted like I had no choice

I wanted to believe it

I blamed my friends and blamed my foes

Claimed they all robbed me of my hopes

But I'm the one who stopped my voice

And told myself to leave it

But here I am

No excuses anymore

You see, my friend

I've had enough of closing off the open doors

So as I stand

And write another melody

Both my hands

Are open to receive what comes to me

Can I make up for years ago?

Or have I moved too far away from spotlights' glow

Will I be satisfied to try?

Or will my visions lead me deep into a lie

Until I finally die unknown
