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
