I don't wanna make music anymoreI said that out loud, wowThen I tried to stop and I didn't know how toBecause it's impossible to walk away from true loveArt, emotion, lyrics, music, feelingIt's what I need to surviveMan, that pain woke me upIt's inside out, you know?I don't do this because I want to do itI do it because I have toI feel everything so deeplyIt's a blessing and a curseAnd I lost my passion to createTo draw a line between business and artI'd fallen into darkness and allowed myself to be led by fearThe fear was keeping other people happyWho didn't ever care about meAnd I was running deeper into someone and something I wasn'tHow did that become more important than my light?At the time I couldn't find that questionI really thought it was more importantI'd forgotten what made me specialI was lost in what I stood forAnd I was desperately trying to reach out for something, or someone, but I couldn't feelIt didn't feel like there was anyone thereBut there wasI was thereLove was thereI was there, I never leftI just gave someone my magic, and they didn't look after itAnd in all the power I felt was lostIt was never goneThe one thing that started this whole journey could never be taken away from meMy voiceI started to just, write words and singJust like I did when I was sixteenNo singles, no hooks, no pressureJust me, my feelings and being realAnd I started to feel itI started to feel it coming backThe music I said I didn't wanna makeIs what brought me back to lifeThe anger, the honesty, the heartacheThe pain, the joy, the strength, the loveIt all happened for a reasonThe teaching and the lessonThe words I kept coming back toRealisationsObsessionsSexAnd EmpowermentR.O.S.E.For each letter, there is a wordAnd for each word, is a song I will share with youI'm strong enough now to let you inTo be real and to be freeMy mother is called RoseShe gave me the gift of lifeA rose is at it's most beautiful when budding newI rose above the painWe give roses or a single rose as a gift for so many different feelingsAnd thisThis is my gift to you
