The crux of it The root of it Is exactly this: I was too scared When I was 12 To give a girl a kiss. That may seem small But not at all For the one that did not act. Indecisively I felt true pain, And I've been Hamlet in the sack. I'm done. I'm finished Being the one Who gives up Without a try. I tell you God If I break my word Then smite me down I'll die. From this day forth A new man of sorts From the ashes of regret A fire's been sparked This boys been charged Not afraid of what he expects. I claim not as mine These thoughts I find, Only freedom through my eye. So hear me once And hear me loud I will no longer fear to try.

Opening My Eye
The crux of it The root of it Is exactly this: I was too scared When I was 12 To give a girl a kiss. That may seem small But not at all For the one that did not act. Indecisively I felt true pain, And I've been Hamlet in the sack. I'm done. I'm finished Being the one Who gives up Without a try. I tell you God If I break my word Then smite me down I'll die. From this day forth A new man of sorts From the ashes of regret A fire's been sparked This boys been charged Not afraid of what he expects. I claim not as mine These thoughts I find, Only freedom through my eye. So hear me once And hear me loud I will no longer fear to try.
