This Fragile Surface Lyrics
I stare and let it read my mind, eye open as am IScanning through that tangled maze I lose myself againWho am I whose eye defines the thoughts run through my headAnd soon I find there's no way out, my eye is my guide againShowing me around, these pathways so profoundShining like the sun, I pretend it's just for funAs he forces me to run againAsking would you like to be my friendEye look into eye and I try to draw the lineFight that lie and hide my fright, keep it out of mindFar away I hear a voice that shouts and demandsSyllables and letters forming words of commandCloser now, then from inside, I think that I understandShowing you around, these pathways so profoundShining like the sun, I pretend it's just for funAs I force you with a gun - run, runAsking would you like to be my friendI look into your eye, I pretend it's all fineI keep living the lie, I look into your eye(This fragile surface may hold the weight of all that's locked insideBut will it help you clean your slate, or do you just run and hideYou can run...)This fragile surface white and blue if studied will revealThere's something in the depths below that I cannot concealThrough years and years of acting and the practice of my stareHas made it easy to escape if you didn't already know it was thereThis fragile mirror of the soul reflects both fake and realBut before you see too much of me I'll turn or keep it sealedSo I face the ground and hurry on, I run from how I feelTo tell you 'bout my self-inflicted wounds that will never heal
