I bleed out the ocean
I cry out the night
I sing out the notion
that I've done nothing right

You stand in the street
You stand in the way
You stand on your own
until you hear what I say

I risk all the shame
I risk all the regret
I risk all the pain
and all I've not thought of yet

You've nothing to lose
and nothing to feel
For this is what you choose
to ignore what's real
