dimensions of intervention are needless so I think
striving and thriving I see I'm driving to the brink
avoiding annoying eternal complications destinations
unimportant constantly distorting my relations
from patience to thoughts of hating anyone in my mind
I find it hard to believe you can relate to my kind
and if I could I would pretend that I'm alright by myself
if you love me as I am I'll put my pride on the shelf
if I can I'll pretend I'm alright all by myself
I'd rather drown than take your hand
it's the way I am
skepticism leaves a wrinkle on my brow
cynicism prevents my change
with this suspicion I'm caught in a dilemma
intervention with my psyche? Rearrange
walls built to hinder the intrusion
preservation of my mental well being
doubt makes me value the safety of my distance
can it be stubbornness to which I cling?
if I can I'll pretend I'm alright all by myself
I'd rather drown than take your hand
it's the way I am
and if I climb a wall of pride
swim across my sea of doubt
will you love me as I am
the way I am
An urgent sense of regret and now I'm caught in the zone
my mind arrested by fear and so I go it alone
a metamorphosis conceived by the early light
distraction of self comes out in the night
fabricated I'm constructed of opinions and lies
which only leads to failing in my own eyes
sinking to the depths while I'm masking what's inside
a bittersweet existence and I cause my own demise
and I wonder if you've ever seen
life through the eyes of one who
understands what it means to be free
freedom comes when you can let it go
but I guess you wouldn't know
it's such a shame the game you play
congratulations your invited to the masquerade
I'd like to know what lies behind the mask you've made
my mind reflects the meaning to things that are jumbled
resting on the first making time to rehearse
intricate persona controlled animation
visually impaired clinging to pain immersed
mentally scarred cosmetics dripping down
life in forward motion exist in reverse
unstable at the seams trying to conform
trapped in a maze while sin is at it's worst
and I wonder what you're gonna do
when your disguise comes crashing down
and yourself comes shining through
are you gonna hide your face
or let it rest in the hands of grace
don't hide your face in the masquerade
don't play the game it's a masquerade
tell me what you're gonna do
I know you know that I'm on to you
I see your game and I see the way
with my self esteem you love to play
when I'm feeling fine things go alright
you're sure to be right by my side
but when I'm down I look around
you're nowhere to be found
here they come again
will this ever end
around till I need them
my plastic friends
they melt when heat begins
they're walking mannequins
my plastic friends
I wonder if you'll ever see
exactly what you've done to me
I feel alone I've been attacked
and you put the knife into my back
what I need is honesty
open exchange from you to me
I've come to you my pride aside
so we can make this right
three times denied I've relied too long on visions
capsules of elastic mental prisons
relating to the masses for thirty pieces
candy coated personality thin like reece's
synthetic figments artificial pigments
(pathetic) ingesting poisons of facades
illusions on a mountain high like Colorado
bravado London bridges they be falling
value of fools gold with kisses manifested
break, smash, shatter counterfeit flatter
imitation of a friend `cause the heat makes you scatter
blending, comprehending but still deceiving
aimless inventions creations spiritual manipulations
I'm running out of patience
fascinated in your attempts at being plastic
spastic, kind of drastic my companion you are not
Today I want to get away
I want to go someplace where I can pray
and go where the trees are tall
where the water rushes to the falls
fly I want to fly away to a place where they can't find me
I want to see the stars that shine and I'll land on mars and run
I want to run all day far away where I can face the sun
I want to catch the rays fade away to a brighter place
take me away where I can feel you move me
to lose myself in you, I'll do what I have to do
today I want to get away where the skies are clear most everyday
I'll go where the river runs washes away my field of pain
fly I want fly to fly up high
let my spirit soar I'll kiss the sky
I want to go to the place where I find you
run I want to run all day to a place where I can face the sun
I want to catch the rays fade away to a brighter day
take me away where I can feel you move me
to lose myself in you, I'll do what I have to do
take me away where I can feel you move me
I'm following close behind I want to walk in your light
simply understanding
you see me when no one's around
frustration shows my patience
it seems I'll never get this right
to get to know you better
to love you more than myself
to give you everything
all of me, all of me
I am human
I borrow this excuse for my pride
inconsistent independent
it seems I'll never make this right
waiting for a sign to fall
into my lap from the sky
pockets full of time
it seems I've waited here forever
in this world of make believe
my eyes see what I want to see
I'm blinded with the simple lies
so easily I justify
the sin that comes so naturally
is this all that I'll ever be
bring this madness to an end
don't let this cycle start again
it's got me spinning `round
and I can hardly tell
which way is up or down
on my sin carousel
it's got me out of control
and I want to jump off
somebody stop this ride
I think I've had enough
spinning `round up and down
but I know it's alright
move ahead falling back
try to leave it behind
seems I've been here before
so familiar I can tell
need your help to get off
of my sin carousel
it's suffice to say I move
because of your great fortitude
so unstable are my feet
they love to make a fool of me
afraid to fall I feel corrupt
and as I drop you pick me up
take me where I've never been
don't let this cycle start again
take time what's on your mind
everybody's standing on another side
it's a chance for personal gain
if you're gonna play on someone else's shame
take time share another life
perfect to the end and taking on our strife
take the time to clear up your mind
put away your self and open up your eyes
this time I started waiting for myself to fade
walking in to complications and I rearrange
do I fear my feelings am I numb to pain
are my senses washing me sane
will it ever go away
hey, hey, hey time is fading
so come on it's about time
love is so blind you're walking on the line
set your mind on ease take a turn for me please
would you please
if you sit back look at your life
look at yourself and set back your pride
take the time for what's on your mind
put away your self and open up your life
hey, hey, hey time is fading
coming to my senses
hey, hey, hey time is fading
my life is changing
