I AM

This is the place where my face breaks open
this is the moon and the star in my eye
i am a wave in a sea of emotion
this is beginning and ending my life

like rage, burning
like rain, falling

and i, i, i am
i AM

words don't listen
hands don't lie
in my vision
diamonds cry

like rage, burning
like rain, falling

and i, i, i am
oh i AM

fire in stone
cut glass beads
blue sky, yellow sand
deep green sea

don't ask why you bleed
don't ask why you need

like rage, burning
like rain, falling

and i, i, i am
i AM

This is the place where my face breaks open
this is the moon and the star in my eye
i am a wave in a sea of emotion
this is beginning and ending my life
