Illiodic Shines

I spend too much time thinking about who I'm supposed to be I play by everybody's rules that don't seem right to me I'm cool and polite, on the outside When I get a chance, I run and I hide If your eyes are closed, it's hard to see What if I back down now, 'cause I'm afraid of what might happen What if they turn away when I show them who I truly am What if I lose my breath when I throw those big doors open Or tonight, just tonight What if I shine? Should I even care? They're all sitting there, and everyone's staring at me If I step out in the spotlight, maybe I'll be set free What if I back down now, 'cause I'm afraid of what might happen What if they turn away when I show them who I truly am What if I lose my breath when I throw those big doors open Or tonight, just tonight What if I shine? I... shine... I spend too much time thinking about who I'm supposed to be But what if I sing out loud? Because anything can happen What if I stand up proud and I show them who I truly am? They're gonna call my name and I'll throw these big doors open 'Cause tonight, just tonight I'm gonna shine I... shine...
