Lyrics

So You See

You start out blind and you crawl through the
childhood of time / believing it all
You run feet bare up the stairs that you never
come down / you don?t care if you fall

Your eyes open wide you have dreams you can fly
but you already know as you go / that
something?s not right
Your head hits the bed and you know that
because you believed in it all / you
believed then that night

When they said you had sinned back before
the beginning of time it started the guilt /
it opened the shame
It darkened your eyes and your dreams you
could fly / it darkened your name

So you started to act and you learned to pretend
up end, inside out / falling in
And you listened and strained and you traveled
and changed / only fell further in

So you see
So you see

With the pieces all scattered around and the
new ones you?ve found / like your dreams
are so far
And you stand and you stare at the things
that you thought that you knew
and you wish that you cared but you
don?t even know who you are

And the time passes on and you follow along
you can?t think anymore, you don?t look
you don?t see what?s ahead
You just do what you do and your act becomes you,
one?s as good as the other / you?re
as good as dead

So you see
So you see

You end up blind and you crawl through the
bottom of time, feet bare, you don?t care
you don?t try to pretend
And the thought hits your head then when
everything?s said and everything?s
gone, they were wrong, those were lies,
you open your eyes, you have you
back again

So you see
So you see
