The Character Underneath

written & performed by Hook

Do you know a way
out of this mess
A chance to set things right
More or less
To step back into time
Make a different choice
A left instead of right
Finding my voice

The smallest ripples
create the largest waves
The little moments
Define an entire age
The scars endured
Mold like clay
As the character underneath
Takes center stage

Can you see a future
That doesn't explode in pain
Or end with unneeded sacrifice
Or unwanted shame
Where definitions are
Clear and concise
And expectations don't
Come with a price
