The time for brooding is over Let them say I invented the stars when they were born That I weaved the fabric of the universe while I remained awake at night Let them see that I'm no longer suffering
For tears are no more than mist And my irises are the color of laughter Laughter which I crafted from sunlight So they can say that I breathe tempests And spring's flower petals float in my bloodstream Let them see I'm more than what I was
For the sky is the face of unraveled smiles Where masks are shattered shards And truth is blatant on heaven's eye Now they can say I am true That I am in every blade of grass And every pebble on the riverbed
So now let them say what they want For they can see I have been my own nightmares Just as now I am my own dreams.
