The Way Things Appear
In the Face of War
I've hid away all of my sins
Locked behind doors I want to go in again
I've set myself between narrow walls of expectation
Believing in absolutes and inhibition
Morality is seen through abstraction lenses
Misshapen glass that distorts the senses
Lines that are supposed to be so straight begin to blur
Causing simple shapes to bend and become obscure
It's hard to run when I don't know where I'm standing
It's hard to fly when I don't know where I'm landing
I try to rearrange my eyes
To change the way that things appear
I try to focus through the glass
But it's reacting like a mirror
Will reflections seen today
Look the same tomorrow too
Never just assume
Everything you've heard is true
It's hard to run when I don't know where I'm standing
It's hard to fly when I don't know where I'm landing
It's hard to follow when I don't know who's leading
Devils deceive me all the time
But so do gods with their wine
The only voice that isn't heard
Is the one that doesn't speak a word
I'm screaming at the top of my lungs
Let the fall be undone
When we can just remove the glass
We can finally see at last
When the final words are sung
Let the fall be undone
