Things aren't all they seem
Every prison's not a cage
And I've learned one thing for sure
Through rose colored eyes
Life's so unreal from the stage
But the limelight fades away
There is no rhyme, there is no reason
Don't look to me for answers
And though a lying heart is treason
Mental fabric starts to fray
As I live the passion play
Ooh all things must change
Have I thrown my life away?
Sacrificial offerings escalate
And they don't know who to blame
Lord, I'll never be the same
Depth of feelings hard to gauge
Through the tainted glass
I relive it all in silent rage
How much can one man endure
I'm a symptom and the cure
Now I've learned one thing for sure
