_Visual_Script_ - Herds Lyrics

Heavy were the days and longer were the nights
Thoughts swirling deep like endless fights
Dragging me down with no end in sight
Until I found the place to put my mind
And see the sound of my mind be free.

Herds of words crashing like waves
Meaning I hid locked in mental caves
Like a talent buried beneath the stone
Waiting to rise now that I stand alone
Words to paper with pen or tapping the keys.

Sentences born from what nobody sees
Piecing together the puzzles inside
Truths long hidden no longer denied
Images crawl from the back of my mind
Sharp as thorns but I let them unwind.
What's always been buried now finally clear
The things I avoided the voices I'd fear
But now the sound of my soul shows me the path
To have it all the weight is lifted
Though shadows remain I walk forward
Through the echo of pain.
The wonder of life no longer a maze
But a road I march through smoky haze.

Having this tool for myself or to share
Listening close to help those in despair
Reminding them they've had it within
The weapons to fight whatever's been.
And though the battles rage we can't always hide
Demons in the corners or lurking inside
But axes are sharp and swords swing wide
No beast survives when you stand and decide.
Take the time to stare yourself down
Peel back the fear and wear your crown.

You were never a mouse no matter how small
You are the giant where you stand tall.

Give yourself the moment once again
Be who you are without needing to pretend.

Look close see what you really need
The chains were never locked just there to mislead.
Listen to me I'm here doing the deed
Showing the way to let the mind free.

Some roads are brutal but still they must be walked
Some truths cut deeper than words ever talked.
But each scar is a map each wound a guide
To the place where your strength and courage reside.
The sound of my soul is raw and real
It's not just light it's all I feel.

Heavy and bright dark and pure
This is my power my heart secure.

No longer a wanderer without a plan
I walk the road knowing who I am.
The shadows may follow but I don't care
I'll face them head-on I'm fully aware.
This journey is mine my voice my song
Through every storm I carry along.
And though no peace is guaranteed
I'll fight through every fear I meet.

Axes will swing beasts will fall
Through every struggle I'll stand tall.
No more running no more delay
The future is gold and I'm on my way.
Through every door through every wall
The sound of my soul shatters them all.

Give yourself the moment once again
Be who you are without needing to pretend.

Give yourself the moment once again
Be who you are without needing to pretend.

Give yourself the moment once again
Be who you are without needing to pretend.
