The Underestimate

Masquerade, time will tell if that mask will stay
Sacrifice, that false self, that fake life
Not alone, you’ll find more than one home
Seize the day, taste winds of change

This city sleeps, but tonight we’re the only ones who’ll have a dream
We roam from street to street
Like wolves we howl and sing
Push comes to shove, walk the road in front

As the sun hides it gaze, and the moon shows its face
I’ll keep running my races, fuelled by this night’s grace

‘Draw a line, stand on one side’
I’m not ready to decide, no

Caught in a storm; grey weather
Life doesn’t seem as light as a feather

Hold this fort, see the cause
Truth be told, I feel more scared than bold
Hold this fort, see this cause, the truth be told:
We are more bold than we’ve been sold

But courage is a dance with fear, life taught me this lesson loud and clear
Just stand out in the open, the open
I feel naked, honest and in tears
No pain holds us to our fears

And around and around we go, hold the seeds we were never taught to sow
I for one will let go: watch me grow, watch this grow
