Red, blue and violet Inside my mind, there is a riot Gun fire Bursts of desire Will I rise higher Or come crashing down I always felt like I was meant for more than this town But how can I escape Design my own fate When these walls I cannot break If only I could reach out and take My future Pull it towards me so I can be there sooner Oh, the irony I want to escape reality The painter of this picture is me Too blind to see I didn't even look at the canvas Should have kept a steady hand Scribbled all over it Didn't give a **** Now I’m left wondering who I am Let myself decay But I don’t want to waste away another day So to myself I say, it is time for change I have to rearrange the order of my brain So things don’t remain the same Gotta change my aim Relight my flame If life is just a game I want to at least say I played No longer will I sit out or be filled with self doubt I’m going to love myself now Or at least try Life goes by in the blink of eye If then ten year old me walked on by Would they sigh or wonder why I never tried I never tried I’m trying to look on the bright side Always there will be high and low tides All fears I must cast aside The time has come to do more than just sit by I want to see a change worldwide So I have to start inside
A rising tide Nationwide To wash away this great divide
