Masterpiece

Verse 1: They say, "Just give it everything, pour your heart out on the page" But what’s the point of greatness if it’s locked inside a cage? I see their empty faces, the hollow praise they throw They’ll never understand the fire burning in my soul Pre-Chorus: I’ve got a vision, but I’m keeping it inside They’ll never get the truth in the beauty I’ve designed Why let them tear it down, when they’ll never see the light? I’d rather keep it hidden than watch them drain it dry Chorus: I won’t give my passion to a world that doesn’t care They’d never understand it, so why should I even dare? It’s better to keep dreaming of what it could have been Than let them take my vision and twist it in their spin I’ll hold on to my silence, protect what’s in my heart Better to leave it unspoken than watch them tear it apart They’ll never know the beauty, the greatness they can’t see So I’ll keep it in the shadows, where it’s safest to be free Verse 2: They want me to believe that compromise is strength But I won’t bend or break, won’t go to those lengths They don’t deserve my passion, they don’t deserve my fire I won’t feed their empty souls, I won’t give them my desire Pre-Chorus: I’ve got a masterpiece, but it’ll never see the light I won’t hand it over to those who never fight Why create for a world that’s too blind to understand? I’d rather let it die than place it in their hands Chorus: I won’t give my passion to a world that doesn’t care They’d never understand it, so why should I even dare? It’s better to keep dreaming of what it could have been Than let them take my vision and twist it in their spin I’ll hold on to my silence, protect what’s in my heart Better to leave it unspoken than watch them tear it apart They’ll never know the beauty, the greatness they can’t see So I’ll keep it in the shadows, where it’s safest to be free Bridge: I could paint the sky in colors they’ve never even dreamed But what’s the use of brilliance if it’s torn apart at the seams? I’ll guard the light within me, keep it burning in the dark Better to never let it out than see them miss the spark Chorus: I won’t give my passion to a world that doesn’t care They’d never understand it, so why should I even dare? It’s better to keep dreaming of what it could have been Than let them take my vision and twist it in their spin I’ll hold on to my silence, protect what’s in my heart Better to leave it unspoken than watch them tear it apart They’ll never know the beauty, the greatness they can’t see So I’ll keep it in the shadows, where it’s safest to be free Outro: I’ll keep the fire burning, but I won’t let it show It’s better to be silent than let them take control My passion stays my own, untouched by their disdain In the depths of my heart, it’ll always remain
