lyrics

You look at things all inside out
That simple smile you hide behind
A victim of life you always pout
Looking for salvation you can’t find

Spitting out things that don’t have taste
Looking up names that owe you favors
Blowing back love thinking it’s a waste
Languishing from the hate that you savor

Don’t stop crying till the pain is gone
Let it put you right back where you belong
Don’t try making sense out of this
Keep holding on keep holding on

You fall from an opaque reality of truth
Like the windless day that flies no kite
The smoke from a burning fire- it lets loose
Blanketing its fury and blinding your sight

Yet you begin to sense a change in space
Remembering a dream in your mind that danced
Was it real or just an imagined safe place
 If you believe in change is it worth the chance

Chorus: --

Break through the wall that you built with fear
Surrender to feelings that clutch your heart
The small voice inside is what you should hear
It will help lead you outside to a fresh new start

Slipping sliding reaching and crawling
Oh working through that old hateful pain
Like a new born baby fighting and bawling
What was once crazy now is sane

Chorus: --
