Nothing Reaches Me

I close my eyes, I see light in the dark
Steady steps, I won't fall apart
They don't see the shield I wear
But I walk with my soul in open air

There are voices trying to confuse
And shadows that follow with no use
But I stay light, I stay in peace
They try their best, but I'm released

Nothing reaches me, nothing breaks me
What protects me, they can't see
On my road, the good walks beside
Even in pain, I shine with pride

Nothing reaches me, nothing holds
All their envy, the wind unfolds
I sing out loud, the vibe surrounds
With every beat, I break the bounds

I've seen faces wear fake smiles
But no illusion will change my trials
Whatever they throw just falls away
Darkness fades, my strength will stay

Dry eyes watching from afar
Bitter words try to leave a scar
But I breathe deep, I let it slide
My silence makes the noise subside

Nothing reaches me, nothing hurts
The one who guides me never deserts
Each beat a shield, each sound a spell
When they sing with me, I rise and repel
