I am Contradiction

Full Song, Rhythm / Percussion, Voice, rock, emotional, male vocals, electric guitar

[Verse 2]
I am a traveler longing
For a place that isn't named
A voice lost in the thunder
Shouting never claimed
I am the ache that echoes
In the quiet hearts concealed
I'm yearning silent answer
Given when it's real

[Chorus]
Perhaps a fighter forged by storms
Perhaps a silent soul
A question left to linger
While trying to find my role
I hold fast to my convictions
Though doubts are always near
Somehow I must keep both in step
Both held dear

[Verse 3]
I'm shamed by sacred duty
Bruised by frailty's hand
A paradox entangled
Elusive where I stand
Am I defeated or triumphant
Does it even matter now
Through every scar and triumph
The road unfolds somehow
My journey still before me
It's uncertain but it calls
Ordained by all I've witnessed
Rising when I fall

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I curse the tangled life I live
Then bless the breath I'm given
I'm wandering through wild terrain
Afraid to seek direction
My pride's a stubborn shadow
I stumble asking why
So many times been broken
I forget how to try
The grace is bending gently
Where my spirit would have snapped
A lesson learned in silence
Kneeling on the map

[Outro]
A living spark in every soul
Hungry hope that won't retire
A burn with restless longing
A question set on fire
I am not alone or cast aside
But growing in the gray
For nothing's as it seems
And truth won't slip away
Though thorns have found me countless times
I still pursue the rose
A heart that feels no purpose
Withers it never grows
To find grace in a petal's touch
And in the thorns that sting
To hold both pain and beauty
In the fullness that they bring
Blindness is a choice
Sight a gift to cherish
If fierce as fight is buried deep
Do we rise or do we perish
The greatest victories are the ones we fought alone
Wisdom  shows through aging eyes
Shaped by all I've ever known

[Verse 1] All the shapes my spirit Every truth I hold and trace I'm certain as the sunrise Yet adrift in empty space I dream of shaking mountains Yet sometimes move no stone I touch on seen existences And greive for past's unknown [Verse 2] I am a traveler longing For a place that isn't named A voice lost in the thunder Shouting never claimed I am the ache that echoes In the quiet hearts concealed I'm yearning silent answer Given when it's real [Chorus] Perhaps a fighter forged by storms Perhaps a silent soul A question left to linger While trying to find my role I hold fast to my convictions Though doubts are always near Somehow I must keep both in step Both held dear [Verse 3] I'm shamed by sacred duty Bruised by frailty's hand A paradox entangled Elusive where I stand Am I defeated or triumphant Does it even matter now Through every scar and triumph The road unfolds somehow My journey still before me It's uncertain but it calls Ordained by all I've witnessed Rising when I fall [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] I curse the tangled life I live Then bless the breath I'm given I'm wandering through wild terrain Afraid to seek direction My pride's a stubborn shadow I stumble asking why So many times been broken I forget how to try The grace is bending gently Where my spirit would have snapped A lesson learned in silence Kneeling on the map [Outro] A living spark in every soul Hungry hope that won't retire A burn with restless longing A question set on fire I am not alone or cast aside But growing in the gray For nothing's as it seems And truth won't slip away Though thorns have found me countless times I still pursue the rose A heart that feels no purpose Withers it never grows To find grace in a petal's touch And in the thorns that sting To hold both pain and beauty In the fullness that they bring Blindness is a choice Sight a gift to cherish If fierce as fight is buried deep Do we rise or do we perish The greatest victories are the ones we fought alone Wisdom shows through aging eyes Shaped by all I've ever known
