let me leak my song

explanation

This is a personal and risky song about me graduating high school early in order to get away from a religion that was holding me back and suppressing my potential. Still, I moved to an even more religious place in order to leave the direct influence it had in the form of my parents. The song also discusses the pull and influence that religion continues to have on me even after I've left it.

[verse]
Holy brilliance circles me
I'm wrapped in revered hands
On my knees and facing down
Just like my God commands

Suddenly I'm blinded
By an overwhelming light
But did you ever think I'd like to see
The darkness of real life?

I'll keep running
I'll keep hiding
But his ever-knowing light
Seeps into the cracks of every haven that I find

[chorus]
My mind is forged in wonder of a man against the odds
Longing for a purpose, not to do it for the gods
My eyes will stay wide open as I'm staring at the sun
Searching for the stars beyond until salvation comes

[verse]
I've turned into a nomad
Seeking solace in the shade
But voices keep on following
Demanding I be saved

But I've seen behind the curtain
Seen the puppeteer's cruel schemes
And still I feel the power
Of the master's hallowed strings

I'll keep running
I'll keep hiding
But his ever-knowing light
Seeps into the cracks of every haven that I find

[chorus]
My mind is forged in wonder of a man against the odds
Longing for a purpose, not to do it for the gods
My eyes will stay wide open as I'm staring at the sun
Searching for the stars beyond until salvation comes

[bridge]
Someday I'll have the courage to let my father down
I'm not a servant to his monster and I know he won't be proud
My heart will turn to onyx as my soul becomes a void
Perhaps I'll find a purpose once salvation is destroyed

And I'll keep running
I'll keep hiding
Till my world turns to black
Leave the light behind
Until its rays can't touch my back

[chorus]
My mind is forged in wonder of a man against the odds
Longing for a purpose, not to do it for the gods
My eyes will stay wide open as I'm staring at the sun
Searching for the stars beyond until destruction comes

You really applied the criticisms for last week, which is awesome. Serve us some CountryBritney tea!

Thanks Temporal this is super nice coming from you since you were (rightfully) RUTHLESS to me last round especially compared to the other judges

I can't remember how we handled baby Pokemon last year. If they are counted separately and what they evolve into is still first stage, then it says like this. If not, it'll change to this.

If I remember correctly, didn't these correlate to number scores as well?

Shiny + Legend = 10
Legend = 9
and so on?

[keshaspearsxo]

Something tells me each bracket relates to a score range
