Keep your distance
Stay away
It's the same old thing 
On a different day 
Tell me is this all how it  ends? 

Be sure to wear 
A mask on your face 
Everyone's running 
But this isn't a race
Tell me is this all how it ends?

Doors are closed 
We have no jobs 
A poor man has 
A rich man robs 
Cant you see?

It's not over yet 
I'm calling your bluff
This isn't a game
We've had enough 
Of your mind games 
We're not down and out 
Keep moving on 
I promise we'll see 
A brand new dawn
And we'll make it through 
Your mind games 

How long are you gonna 
Keep up this charade?
Were living in a world 
Full of masquerades 
I dont know anyone anymore 
What are you hiding for? 

We're not really living 
In fact we're scared to death 
But we'll keep fighting 
Until we take our last breath 
Yeah and maybe then
Maybe we'll see an end 

Doors are closed 
We have no jobs 
A poor man has 
A rich man robs 
Cant you see? 

It's not over yet 
I'm calling your bluff
This isn't a game
We've had enough 
Of your mind games 
We're not down and out 
Keep moving on 
I promise we'll see 
A brand new dawn
And we'll make it through 
Your mind games

I guess I missed the feeling
I can't believe I'd stoop so low
That I'd give anything
But the end I already know

I know this song all to well
I've read this book before
And I may be put through hell
But I'm coming back for more

I can't pretend no
I can't do without
What you have against me
I can't figure out
Times have changed
And were both much older now
And you spin me around and around
Like a broken record

Should have known
We couldn't just be friends
Should have known
You couldn't stay away

I love it all
Until the end
I guess I'll learn one day

I can't pretend no
I can't do without
What you have against me
I can't figure out
Times have changed
And were both much older now
And you're spinning me around
Like a broken record

I try so hard, and I get so far
Only to fall away again
I try so hard and get so far
Only to miss you again
Maybe one day I'll learn
Before I get burned

I can't pretend no
I can't do without
What you have against me
I can't figure out
Times have changed
And were both much older now
And you're spinning me around
Like a broken record

I was so caught up
In everything I forgot
Wondering who I am
And who I'm not

And somewhere in between
Here and now I lost my way
So listen close
I got something to say

I'm not going back
I'm not turning around
Start picking me up
Instead of dragging me down
Yeah I wonder I wonder
If things look better
This time around

Stop telling me lies I'll be okay
I'm just passing through
I'm not here to stay
Yeah I wonder I wonder
If things look better
This time around

Starting making my way back
To how it was before
I got side tracked
On the day you walked out that door

Yeah I remember it
Just like it was yesterday
Things looked different
Than they are today

I'm not going back
I'm not turning around
Start picking me up
Instead of dragging me down
Yeah I wonder I wonder
If things look better
This time around

Stop telling me lies I'll be okay
I'm just passing through
I'm not here to stay
Yeah I wonder I wonder
If things look better
This time around

Start picking me up
Stop dragging me down
I wonder I wonder

Stop telling me lies
I'm not here to stay
I wonder I wonder

I'm not going back
I'm not turning around
Start picking me up
Instead of dragging me down
Yeah I wonder I wonder
If things look better
This time around

Stop telling me lies I'll be okay
I'm just passing through
I'm not here to stay
Yeah I wonder I wonder
If things look better
This time around

What mask is this
I'm not so sure
It once was mine
But that was before

Who is this man
Hes no friend of mine
His face looks so familiar
Another place another time

We all have something to hide
But it doesn't change
Who we are inside

We are the in between
Something no ones ever seen
We only reveal
What we can afford to lose
The masks we wear
Is the life we choose

They call him two faced
A hypocrite it's true
They say he would lie to your face
And say the sky is green
And that the grass is blue

They say he would stab you in the back
Even though he never threw a stone
Yeah you're friends might not care
But its better than being alone

We all have something to hide
But it doesn't change
Who we are inside

We are the in between
Something no ones ever seen
We only reveal
What we can afford to lose
The masks we wear
Is the life we choose

Because I know
Some-where in the Heavens above
The Saints will ponder
To come through terms of Love
Be no more radiant maiden there
Than by the name of Mother, Fair!
Therefore by the name
For years I have set aside and kept, 
No ill mannered fate 
Shall I accept! 
Thy beauty is to me
As the many shores
Upon the perfumed sea!
By the name of Mother 
No other shall endure
For no other
Besides fair mother
Holds a love I dare say pure!

To those who dream by night, are only to escape the vast intervals by day.

Never to be hurt, is never to have loved.
