I sit at home late at night starin` at the floor
Rockin` back-n-forth it is the pain I can`t ignore
I don`t think I`m insane and I know I`m not alone
But the rain soaks through my shelter as my soul begins to moan
I need to be released from this force that`s drivin` me
Don`t want to be tattooed and stain all that I`ll ever be
To crash and burn is not the path that many wise men follow
So I close my eyes and listen as they lead me toward tomorrow
It`s then I hear the whispers and the winds that make`em roll
that defines the inspiration that has given me a home
He talks to me and tells me things I know I`ve said before
But the aura of the pearl is what will lead me to the shore
Again I find I`m rockin` as I await the river`s end
Where my soul can then seek shelter and allow the wounds to mend
The aura of the pearl is a reflection of my eyes
That holds the wind`s direction as the sun begins to rise
