I'm A Writer In My Heart

I don’t know how to express these things anymore. I need to know someone else feels the anguish I feel.
“I got dreams that keep me up in the dead of night
Telling me I wasn’t made for the simple life
There’s a light I see but it’s far in the distance
I’m asking you to show me some forgiveness

I got a homesick heart but a long way left to go
I’ve been doing my part but I ain’t got much to show”

“Can nobody hear me? I got a lot that’s on my mind”
“I’m bleeding out...
“So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in”

“I’m only a man with a candle to guide me”

“Don’t throw stones at me
Don’t tell anybody
Trouble finds me

All the noise of this
Has made me lose my belief”

“If I could find a way
To see this straight
I’d run away
To some fortune
I should have found by now

So I run now to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be”

“This is my word
This is my way
Show me a sign
Sweep me away

This is my word,
Heartbreaker, gatekeeper
I'm feeling far away, I'm feeling right there

Deep in my heart, deep in my mind
Take me away, take me away
This is my word
Dream maker, life taker
Open up my mind

All I believe
Is it a dream
That comes crashing down on me
All that I hope
Is it just smoke and mirrors?
I want to believe, oh,
But all that I hope
Is it just smoke and mirrors?

All that I've known
Buildings of stone
Fall to the ground
Without a sound
This is my word
Heart breaker, gatekeeper
I'm feeling far away, I'm feeling right there

I'm starting to cave
I'm losing my flame
I wanted your truth
But I wanted the pain
To disappear
Dream maker, life taker
Open up my mind”
