I lost sight of what's real
Escaped in my mind
It wasn't any better
Cause there's no where to hide
I hope I'll get through this
Maybe I hope I fail
So into the darkness I set sail

Raise the mast
Let the dark winds come
The billows of blackness
Will fool everyone
I'll coil the ropes
And shout into the wind
This is the real me

Everyone sees me
No one knows who I am
They never tried looking
I'm so much more than just a man
I'll be just fine on my own
Swallowed by the gale
So into the darkness I set sail

Raise the mast
Let the dark winds come
The billows of blackness
Will fool everyone
I'll coil the ropes
And shout into the wind
This is the real me, where I begin

Every break in the clouds
I see light shining through
I wanna believe in hope
I wanna believe in you

Raise the mast
Let the dark winds come
The billows of blackness
Will fool everyone
I'll coil the ropes
And shout into the wind
This is the real me, where I begin

I'll coil the ropes
And shout into the wind
This is the real me, where I begin
