I couldn't hide my face to claim my innocence
I wouldn't have the sense to keep going on
Maybe I'm just too proud to stand in your defense
Still I feel the pull of hidden wires

I'm never gonna try, I lie
I dared to speak my mind
When all the old changes made before
Don't seem to change a thing at all

Are you real?

I wouldn't find my place with this poor disguise
Why can't I face myself without these lies?
I couldn't find my path without knowing it
I've been around every turn, I know what's left is right

I'll never let it die, I tried
I dared to free my mind
And all the same changes as before
Don't seem to change a thing at all

I'm never gonna try
I know that I won't go back
It started with a smile
I know but it won't come back
This is real

Should've seen it coming
'Cause now I'm feeling nothing
Always taking me far beneath the middle
