Illumination

I cut myself to let the demons out
I didn't know I became one
It was dark in my bedroom
until I turned on the light
Scars illuminated
the color of moonlight

I couldn't stand being lied to
I didn't know I had a choice
I could have written songs
so pure if I'd known I'd had a voice

I can stand being alone now
but I don't have a choice
I would write songs so pure
if I knew I had a voice

Sometimes I think I'm drowning
but I know I have a choice
I will sing those songs so pure
when I find my voice
