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
