lyrics

Look inside, but I don't like what I seem to find
I've exorcised, none of the ghosts that plague my mind
Deep inside, I'm not sure if I recognize
Who's knowing, who's feeling, who's showing, who's being

Looking back, it all seems strangely unreal somehow (see, deep as the heart)
I can't connect, with all these pictures I'm seeing now (nothing but lies)
My memory, has been submerged in seas of doubt (faces and masks)
Whose lover, whose laughter, whose brother, whose father

I look outside, but I can't hold on to anything (breathe, free of the past)
Of certainty, what's the truth behind her or him (all we can see)
Am I so tired?, I can't believe the dream I'm in (faces and masks)
Who's listening, who's calling, who needs me, who's falling

I don't know where I'm going, can't read the future in my hand
There's just no way of knowing, if things will turn out as I've planned
I've followed all the questions, but I'm no nearer the truth
There seems no point in asking, when there's no proof

Look inside, but I don't like what I seem to find (see, deep as the heart)

Looking back, it all seems strangely unreal somehow (breathe, free of
the past)
...whose brother, comes after

I threw my cross away and came up face to face with death
I put it on again and it burnt right through my flesh
I've followed all the questions but I'm no nearer the truth
There seems no point in asking, when there's no proof

All these faces and masks, all the people I've been,
It's just covering up what I don't want you to see
All these faces and masks are just how I perceive
Not the person I am but who you want me to be
All these faces and masks are elaborate lies
I still don't know what I'm trying to hide
But if I can't be true to myself, can I expect it of you
Is there anyway out can I break through if

Can I break through to me
