The Blank Page
Embracing Redemption: A Journey Through the Blank Page
Lyrics
Defeated and disgraced
Feeling defeated and disgraced
Maimed in my body and my soul
Experiencing physical and spiritual injury
How can I make up
How can I compensate for irreparable losses
For what will never be made whole
Acknowledging the impossibility of complete healing
I don't recognize myself
Feeling a sense of alienation from oneself
In the names they call me everywhere
Being labeled negatively by others
I've always had my reasons
Having reasons for actions, but anticipating lack of understanding or empathy
But I know they'll never care
Aware that others may not care about personal justifications
And I can see the page before me in my mind
Mentally visualizing a blank page with anticipation
Waiting on the words I've yet to find
Waiting for the right words to express thoughts
The page more blank than not, now my feet go where I lead
Feeling uncertain and leading oneself into the unknown
And I will write the story of my own deeds
Determined to create a narrative of personal achievements
Rejected and replaced
Experiencing rejection and displacement
Maimed in my heart and in my mind
Emotionally and mentally wounded
How can I reclaim
Seeking the strength to move forward
The strength to carry on this time
Enduring and persevering in the face of challenges
I don't recognize myself
Feeling a disconnection from one's former self
Changed in between the now and then
Transformed between past and present
How can I pretend
Struggling with the pretense of returning to a previous state
To be who I'll never be again
Acknowledging the impossibility of reverting to a past self
And I can see the page before me in my mind
Mentally visualizing a blank page with anticipation (repeated)
Waiting on the words I've yet to find
Waiting for the right words to express thoughts (repeated)
The page more blank than not, now my feet go where I lead
Feeling uncertain and leading oneself into the unknown (repeated)
And I will write the story of my own deeds
Determined to create a narrative of personal achievements (repeated)
And I can see the page before me in my mind
Mentally visualizing a blank page with anticipation (repeated)
Waiting on the words I've yet to find
Waiting for the right words to express thoughts (repeated)
The page more blank than not, now my feet go where I lead
Feeling uncertain and leading oneself into the unknown (repeated)
And I will write the story of my own deeds
Determined to create a narrative of personal achievements (repeated)
