What You Are

I walk into this room, all eyes on me now

But I do not know the people inside

They look straight through me, these eyes

Seeking more wisdom than I have to give away

Realize, realize what you are

What you've become, just as I have

Are you and I so unalike?

Huddled here, you, just as I am

Afraid if we dance we might die

Mock the world

Live safe, say why

Don't you know if you live life

Then you become what you are?

The sea is unsparing, we're all drifting away

Away from you, I pray for you now

Hoping to God on high is like clinging to straws

While drowning, oh

Realize, realize what you are

What you've become, just as I have

Are you and I so unalike?

Huddled here, you, just as I am

Afraid if we dance we might die

Mock the world

Live safe, say why

Don't you know when you live life

Then you become what you are?

What you are

Is the beast in a lover's arms

What you are

Is the devil in the sweet, sweet kiss

What you are

Is missing a piece

What you are

Is a puzzle to me

What you've become, just as I have

Are you and I so unalike?

Huddled here, you, just as I am

Afraid if we dance we might die

What the world give to you, oh

Don't you know when you give life

Then you become what you are? Oh

Don't trust me, trust yourself

Up to you, trust yourself
