Blood on Wood

One decade born into this world
When you become a part of me
Through my ears and into my soul
The thundering rhythm of a life now free
Venting out my frustrations
You’re the one, my therapy
Not giving up even when the blood flows
Tearing my skin while the passion grows
Splinters of dedication lay at my feet
Hours of execution I must repeat
Learning from those who inspire me
The masters of their craft
Watching and learning through persistence
My insecurities cut in half
You gave me strength. You gave me focus
You’ll always be a part of me
Not giving up even when the blood flows
Tearing my skin while the passion grows
Splinters of dedication lay at my feet
Hours of execution I must repeat
When others abandoned
You were always there
Faithful and unmoving
This life we share
Never judging or crossing
Always waiting for me
You’ve given me inner peace
I will always believe
Building the courage to sit with you
In front of strangers' watching eyes
Becoming one with you as I grow
My second nature until I die
Surrounding me you stand proudly
Taking over my body
Not giving up even when the blood flows
Tearing my skin while the passion grows
Splinters of dedication lay at my feet
Hours of execution I must repeat
Not giving up even when the blood flows
Tearing my skin while the passion grows
Splinters of dedication lay at my feet
Hours of execution I must repeat
