Lyrics

THIS IS JUST A BRICK, AND I LAID IT ON A STAGE AND I TOLD YOU A STORY OF MY COMING OF AGE
AND NOW HOW YOU SEE IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
FOR I HAVE CHANGED YOUR MIND BY TELLING YOU MY NAME

I AM THE BALANCE OF A SCALE WEIGHED DOWN BY A HAND
I AM A SHIP WITHIN A BOTTLE RESTING ON THE SAND
I AM THE CHOICE THAT I MAKE EVERY DAY TO STAND
TO STAND AND BE SEEN AS WHO I AM

THIS IS JUST MOMENT BETWEEN THE DAY AND NIGHT
WITH TIME ENOUGH TO MAKE IT HOME BEFORE I LOSE SIGHT
OF ALL MY GOOD INTENTIONS AND GIVE INTO THE DARK
FOR MAYBE THAT’S WHAT’S REALLY THERE DEEP INSIDE MY HEART

AM I THE CARD THAT’S IN THE DECK AND THE ONE HIDDEN IN THE HAND
AM I THE EARS OF THE ELEPHANT, THE WAVING OF THE FAN
I AM THE CHOICE THAT I MAKE EVERY DAY TO STAND
TO STAND AND LET YOU SEE ME AS I AM

AND THIS IS JUST A LETTER THAT I WROTE FROM ME TO YOU
TO TELL YOU OF THE MAGIC THAT YOU BRING FROM PLACES FAR
A SINGULAR REFLECTION AND I HOPE YOU SEE IT’S TRUE
YEAH I HOPE YOU FEEL THE BURNING OF YOUR STAR
I HOPE YOU FEEL IT WHEN I SEE YOU AS YOU ARE

I AM THE ROULETTISTA, WITH THE LOADED GUN
I AM THE ROULETTISTA, WHO GETS GAMBLED ON
I AM THE MOTHER WHO IS SINGING TO HER SON
THE INSPIRER OF SOMEONE,

I AM THE ROULETTISTA, THE CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT
AND MY WILLINGNESS TO TAKE THE RISK BROUGHT YOU HERE TONIGHT
WON’T YOU LET YOURSELF LAY IT ON THE LINE?
WON’T YOU LET YOURSELF GIVE THE WORLD YOUR LIGHT?
WON’T YOU LET YOURSELF BE SEEN IN MY EYES?
WON’T YOU LET YOURSELF RISK IT ALL...
