he's just trying to fit in
that's not a sin
but i can see the blanks
inside his eyes
he smiles and nods
and he'll agree
with all he sees
but i can see some truth
beneath his lies

i see myself
stare back at me
his eyes i've seen
in a mirror
not too long ago
another death
when will i see
that i don't need
to keep on counting them
as i go

another breakthrough lets me see where i've been tripping
another peak at what i seek helps clear the road
another death, yes i confess -
i've been fear driven
another day, another dance
awake again - here i go

and then again
one's sent to me
to help me see
the lies that i have hid
behind my truth

how i too blinded
try to be
one who's received
and not rejected
falling back into my youth

i see the arrogance that comes with light
that dim's my fight
when will i see
there is no need
ignorance has been my bliss
ego my fist
that doesn't let up
till i start to bleed

another time when i was blind
i can't remember
another spell i myself cast
i have let go
another curse has been reversed
one less contraction
another log pulled out
so that the river
can keep flow

another breakthrough lets me see where i've been tripping
another peak at what i seek helps clear the road
another death, yes i confess -
i've been fear driven
another day, another dance
awake again - here i go
