Carving new streams of essence, through turmoil
I am just as fluid, as immortal and lucid
As the Earth that morphs, in the violence of a thunderstorm
My life is what I make of my trials and my mistakes
My life is what I make, I am what I create
I am what I create
I am what I create
I am what I create
[Chorus]
In my darkest days
I only saw the shades of grey
In a world that drips in colour
