lyrics

I want to believe, I hate to concede
Its hard to wrap your mind around it
Everything I know is what I perceive
When I open my eyes I want to see
Where do we begin, where does this all end
Why do you reject what you reflect?
Facing yourself is hard enough
And now we are here to call your bluff

And now that you think you know
Everyone around you and all the colors that they show
Who do you answer to
And now that this has gotten through
Everywhere that you
You're only going through what we have experienced

All I ever wanted was, was for someone to explain to me
Who I am, why I'm here
Why I feel this way, why my reflection it isn't clear

All I smell is smoke, filling up my lungs until I choke
On words I know that you don't deserve
Reflecting every time that it hurt
All that I've come to know
Mirrors don't reflect your soul
They don't show you as you truly are
Your reflection is just another moving part

Hold the line, don't blind me with deceit
Our time is running is out, consuming my thoughts with all this doubt
In these days I see a different gaze
Facing yourself is hard enough, gather the strength to get back up

And now that you think you know
Everyone around you and all the colors that they show
Who do you answer to
And now that this has gotten through
Everywhere that you
You're only going through what we have experienced

All I ever wanted was, was for someone to explain to me
Who I am, why I'm here
Why I feel this way, why my reflection it isn't clear

All I smell is smoke, filling up my lungs until I choke
On words I know that you don't deserve
Reflecting every time that it hurt
All that I've come to know
Mirrors don't reflect your soul
They don't show you as you truly are
Your reflection is just another moving part

All I smell is smoke
Fill my lungs until I choke
on these words

There's a haze on the glass you see
Distorting the person you claim to be
Panic, dominating your vision is slipping
Twisting every sense that I had faith in

All I ever wanted was, was for someone to explain to me
Who I am, why I'm here
Why I feel this way, why my reflection it isn't clear

All I smell is smoke, filling up my lungs until I choke
On words I know that you don't deserve
Reflecting every time that it hurt
All that I've come to know
Mirrors don't reflect your soul
They don't show you as you truly are
Your reflection is just another moving part

I want to believe, I hate to concede
It's so hard to wrap your mind around it
