The light shone through the darkness
And I feared what I saw
A thousand words and promises
A thousand, maybe more.The life I wanted, life I liked
The life I really know
Was the life I couldn't have
The life that I'd watched go.The choices came around me
And I stood there, in between
They swirled around, an endless mass
And coloured octarine.But before I could define a path
The choices smiled and fled
And I knew that from now on
It wasn't life I led.The things that I was sure of
No longer favoured me
And all that I could rely on
Were things I couldn't see.Somewhere in transition
I'd lost my only way
And everytime I turned around
The octarin...
Tell me the truth
And I'll show you a lie
Show me some wings
And I'll teach you to fly
Tell me to smile
And I'll give you a tear
Say to be brave
Then give in to the fearHelp me to see
And I'll slowly go blind
Watch me be sane
And then go lose my mind
Tell me to breathe
Just to then see me choke
Give in to emotions
That I can evokeFly through the desert
And walk through the trees
Glide through the beaches
And swim through the seas
Show me the wisdom
That I'll never know;
And never imagine
How deep I can go.
Don't watch me laughing
Don't see me cry
Don't believe a word I say -
I only ever lieDon't see me smiling
Smiles are not true
And don't doubt my desire that
It's only ever youDon't make me ask for it -
I won't want it anymore
And don't make me explain because
I don't know what it's forDon't look at me that way
As If I'm just not there
But don't not look at me
As if you just don't careDon't pretend you know my thoughts
Coz no one ever did
And don't pretend you understand
Then treat me like a kidSo don't stand and laugh with me
Then leave when I start to cry
And don't ask me to tell the truth
Because I'll only lie.
When you don't know if to smile
Or to just break down and cry
If you don't know if you're living
Or just watching life go by
If you're not sure if you're running
When you're really standing still
If something deep in side of you
Is ready just to killWhen you're sitting contemplating
And you're wondering when you'll die
If you're seriously thinking
That you've lived your life a lie
If you're waiting for a lifetime
And the doubt is setting in
When you're competing in the race of life
Thinking you'll never winIf you're slowly going crazy
With the thoughts you've got inside
And you're waiting for the hands of time
To tell you that they've lied...
Tell me the truth
And I'll show you a lie
Show me some wings
And I'll teach you to fly
Tell me to smile
And I'll give you a tear
Say to be brave
Then give in to the fearHelp me to see
And I'll slowly go blind
Watch me be sane
And then go lose my mind
Tell me to breathe
Just to then see me choke
Give in to emotions
That I can evokeFly through the desert
And walk through the trees
Glide through the beaches
And swim through the seas
Show me the wisdom
That I'll never know;
And never imagine
How deep I can go.
