You've never seen me shine
But look at this glow
It's not your choice
The stars, they show
But does it hurt
Who knows
Try my eyes
And hope

See that fading point
That faint glow
A story told
But the ending's cold

Darkness shows
The light must go
That's how it goes
That star was old

But there's that glow
Do you see?
That afterglow
That faint hope

Now turn around
Look at me
Where am i?
Your eyes won't show
I'll lend you mine
There's more to know

See that lion? Or that bear?
You don't? They're right there
It's not a story, not a show
It's a light that never goes

Just connect the dots
Everything you know
Take a shot
And you'll see that glow

Now leave the sky
Fall to Earth
Look again
But this time,
Use your own sight

See a heart
See that glow
A story,
Waiting to unfold
Eternal or just bold
There will be afterglow

Colorless world surrounds
Barely any sounds
Just a brush and dim lights
Hand in hand, time for art

Through the looking glass
Light shatters into parts
Colours dance, such a mass
Palette full, time for art

Colours flow and motions grow
Dazzling sights day and night
Endless parade every place
Innocence and grace, the planet's awake

Forever searching
Whether healthy or hurting
Endlessly wondering
Admiring life, pondering
Hoping for my happy ending
Here or as a celestial being

A long lasting fever
Looking for my jewel
If my journey stops, ever
I've met my goal, I'll revel
Maybe never
Maybe forever...

Every now and then
I imagine another stance
Where i have a chance

I dream about my free self
An ideal alternative
Happy to be talkative

Free to feel every sensation
Free to live, free to love
No one judges from above

I'd achieve the gift of freedom
I'd dye my hair and get a tatoo
No longer would it be a taboo

Then i shift back to reality
Fill my mind with all the norms
While hiding all my thorns

No such thing as an exception
Only one valid version, perfection...

Two eyes meet in a sudden manner
Critical thoughts start to scatter
"He's too short", "She doesn't do sports"

Thousands of bullets, ready to be fired
But what made you feel inspired?
There must have been a reason
A need to change one's season

A burning desire to point out a flaw
While having a cold mind, unable to thaw
Come to your senses, lower your defenses

Find the hidden qualities
Step through mere quantities
See the soul behind the gender
And finally end this genetical slander

Let this be a safe place
Let the ink and paper offer peace
Let the words flow
Let the light glow

Let souls gather
Let worlds matter
Let ideals prevail
Let ideas reveal

Let this mean power, weakness, innocence, guilt
Let this be, what it needs to be

I'll cherish the sun
Wherever i run
I'll seek happiness
Guard myself from emptiness

I'll cherish the moon
Hoping to see it soon
Gazing on the stars
Forgetting my scars

I'll cherish the land
For helping my stand
Ever growing flowers
Helping many lovers

I'll cherish the oceans
For all the lovely motions
Soul soothing sight
Deserving its might

I'll cherish the world
For giving me these words
To express this beauty
Making running truly worthy

Light imbued words joining each other
Creating a spell unique to one's mind
Showing honest care, like a mother

Wishing one's healing in a silent prayer
Believing in the magical power of faith
Citing without a sound, in a pleading manner

Sincere hope in fixing a rupture
Achieving what cannot be done
Ever longing for a brighter future

Standing at the first stop
All you see is a doorknob
Is it locked or open
Take a chance
You'll know it

You might not dare
Since you're unaware
To ease the scare
There's a voice that helps

Kindness and light surrounds
A sudden crack, a simple hush
You're free to go
Now not alone

Enormous space
Yet so less taste
Seeing a pair of stairs
You make haste

Climbing the ranks
Reaching new stories
Uncovering more distinct premises
You feel danger, something arises

A wall's in your path
Blocking the steps
Making you stress

The voice needs rest
The light seems to fade
But here's your chance
Your best offense

Fear and faith combined
Using only your mind
You fill the place with energy
Like a sudden remedy

Everything looks vitalized
Now's the time
Tear it down and shine

Cracks appear,
The wall shatters
Head upstairs
You're almost there

Seeing the rooftops from above
While you wonder alone
Such sight, like a miracle

As day turns into night
The stars all start dancing
Looking at your guides
You join with your own light
Down on earth, yet so high up
On top of the world, another star's up

I'll save my breath and walk away
From all the pain in my way
Grab my bag and disappear
No one will be there to hear

I'll save my breath and walk away
Giving up this foul display
I will expand my range
Because something has to change

I'll take my pen and challenge fate
Won't be the fool in my own game
I won't waste a single card
Glory will be my reward

Instead of craving far lenghts
I'm seeking only moments
'Cause what's a tree without decorations?
Empty as a soul without sensations

I want to take the role of the leader
But not in an ordinary manner
Not as the glowing lionhearted fighter
More like the calming heart healer

I will take care of my own pack
Protecting souls from dark attacks
Stepping in, when time cracks
Reaching out, when valor lacks

But know that you can form me
I want to be the way you need me
In your eyes, the best i can be
In my eyes, the one you may believe

Seeing lights about to shatter
Moves my heart to solve the matter
In joy and fever we shall shine together
Together, wherever, whenever, forever...

Step one, leaving, far gone
Step two, alone, all you
Step three, carefree

A sensation far gone
An act already done
All that's left is grief, so i'll make this brief

I'll stain the fading colours with ink
Then set them ablaze with flint
I'll see the memories flash, then look down on the ash

I won't leave any marks
Erasing all these scars
Getting rid of every piece, rewarding me with peace

Time can tell this simple tale
Any minute every day
Many faces going pale
Telling us what words can't say

Once a need
Now's a fear
A lullaby's what you hear

An angelic voice from the distance
Is it ending or is it still distant...
