Semi-precious face

Now three years have passed...

I'm standing on the pavement
watching the formation of lines
in my semi-precious face

Staring at myself in a puddle of water
slowly growing in the rain

Once I knew I would jump if you asked
Now I don't know if I even would listen to the sound of you asking
The ups and downs, the on-s and off-s,
it was all about you, I had to handle too much

Now I know I stand tall
no more headbangs in walls
no more screams, no more late-night-calls
I'm too strong, I can't let myself fall.

A hand held out far,
it is mine, filled with water
I throw it up in the air
The surroundings starts to glimmer
as the sun pierces it all.
Beauty is within, everywhere.

I look at myself in the puddle once more
then I breathe deep, fill my lungs with chrystalic air
and walk up to your door

This is it, this is I, this is me,
that is you, all you see,
It can't be defined within me
Off I run, let me go.
Bye bye now, no more show.
