I Contain Multitudes

Verse 1
I walk through fire just to chase the rain,
Whisper truth, then lie again.
I'm the preacher and the heretic,
The holy book and the heretic's trick.
I say I won’t, but then I do—
Don’t look for logic, I’m just passing through.

Pre-Chorus
I’m not broken, I’m just wide—
A thousand voices deep inside.

Verse 2
I loved you and I walked away,
I begged for night, then prayed for day.
I'm soft as silk, I’m hard as stone,
A crowded house that stands alone.
Don’t try to pin me to one name,
I’m changing every time you say it’s the same.

Pre-Chorus
You can’t cage what never hides—
I live on both the wrong and right sides.

Chorus
From chaos to the calm, 
from crimson to blue,
I’m the echo, I’m the spark, 
I’m the old and the new—
Every fire, every fuse—
But that’s the path I choose.
Do I contradict myself? I surely do.
I contain multitudes.

Verse 3
I’m thunder rolling in a lullaby,
A laugh that ends in a cry.
I’m the dream and the doubt, the whisper and shout—
The silence you can't figure out.
So let me be messy, let me be wide,
I’m not one thing—I’m all I hide.

Pre-Chorus
I’m not broken, I’m just wide—
A thousand voices deep inside.

Chorus
From chaos to calm, 
from crimson to blue,
I’m the echo, I’m the spark, 
I’m the old and the new—
Every fire, every fuse—
that’s the path I choose.
Do I contradict myself? I surely do.
I contain multitudes.
