Is well within my reach
Through miles of silence
All our holding back
Youšve been so careful with me
I donšt want to be strong
But, Išll stand alone
At the center of each and every stage
I want to be real
But I donšt dare feel the pain
Something that comes close to passionate
A chip in our veneer
The missing piece where the truth seeps out
Are we victims or volunteers?
Something that comes close to alchemy
All that glitters canšt be gold
While words appear on the page
Their story must be told
I want to be strong
I stand alone
At the center of each and every stage
I want to be real
I dare to feel the pain
