Reflected (on My Side)

Look at all the happy people

See their faces change

As you walk into the room

Hundreds of years

In the eyes of strangers

Make the back of your neck burn

Free to pass, to conform

Free to wonder what belongs

To the bleeding man inside

Freedom bears no credence

When the lack of it's still being justified

(In small minds)

Some things never stir the hearts of men

Some mistakes take more than mere regrets to mend

In spite of all the twisting of truth

I still see myself reflected in you

But a mountain of distorted vision

Has me straining for a view

Is it fair to say that it's

Reflected

(On my, my, my side)

Reflected

(A wall exists and if I had a fist, I'd bust it down)

Reflected

(On my, my, my side)

Reflected

(In this I take no pride)

If I had a wish then there would be no sides

There should be no difference here

No mistrust, no suspicion here

What we are, what we see

To fabricate redemptive boasts

Confusing all, condemning most

Is feigning fidelity

Toss a glance into the pool

Open my eyes and listen

Wish the rippling surface pure

Free of dissension

Nothing can change the way of friends

Nothing else can bring this chilling season to an end

In spite of all the twisting of truth

I still see myself reflected in you

But lingering traces of deception

Blinding vision burn like poison fumes

I don't wanna know if it's

Reflected

(On my, my, my side)

Reflected

(A wall exists and if I had a fist, I'd bust it down)

Reflected

(On my, my, my side)

Reflected

(In this I take no pride)

If I had a wish then there would be no sides

Oh, this trend of change

See's nothing changing

Keep dreaming!

Oh, I wanna walk like you

I wanna cry with you

I wanna feel the way you

Feel the way you do

In spite of all the twisting of truth

I still see myself reflected in you

But a mountain of distorted vision

Has me straining for a view

I don't wanna know if it's

Reflected
