If I really told you what’s been on my mind
Would you close the door on me, or persuade me to try
So I guess you know I wasn’t really there
Do you have to see me bleeding?
Just to feel this pain we share
Well it seems these days you’ve lost a sense of pride
You’ve givin in so easily, this place is gonna eat you up inside
Sit down and listen to me
Don’t let that train of thought disguise what you see
It’s only in what you believe
Now I ain’t trying to tell you, in an hour
About how your life’s supposed to be
Now you could complain but I think you’ll feel the pain
Of living in this world without need
Escape the shadows, step into the light
If you’d take from them you’d take from me
Nobody gets out alive
Well it’s just that I can’t stand to see you waste another day
Your life is precious and so is time
I can see the lines on your face
Well in its certainty the only prize we keep
Doesn’t go beyond our souls reach
And I don’t want to see you end
In that solitude where your life remains the same
Now I ain’t trying to tell you, in an hour
About how your life’s supposed to be
And I can’t lie this close to you
Just to be a casualty
So look again before your demolitions end
You not the only one trying to stay a grade ahead
Now you could complain but I think you’ll feel the pain
Of living in this world without need
I can see the colors with my own eyes
You know there’s no mystery
It’s not what you take from me....It’s what you get out of life
