lyrics

Preying on my weaknesses
This immaculate disguise
Exhausting all my strength inside
Where and when the moment dies
Being someone, being no one
This dichotomy at play
I must forgive, but I remember
It’s just another perfect day

A multitude of influence
Who we choose to be
Heavy hangs the head that wears the crown
Sensory to overload
Wisdom we’ve imparted
The tree that falls yet never makes a sound

Scattered thought in shades of gray
A message to obey
Those who never seek shall never find
In the kingdom of the blind
This light we share
This cross we all must bear
Envisioning a brilliant new design
In the theater of the mind

So inspired, I’ve learned the meaning
A secret battle I have waged
This knowledge gained, my just reward
In this momentary stage
Once enslaved, emancipated
My peripheral at play
Though I forgive, I still remember
It’s just another perfect day

Forever with a watchful eye
To give and not receive
Weary is the man who wears the crown
I stare in all directions
My inner voice protecting me
It’s deafening, yet never makes a sound
