lyrics

Why would I fall apart,
just to be put back together again?
These scenes from a troubled heart
will be artistically put in a frame.
'n' then your love will surround your fear
and encase your body again.
Then you learn to forgive yourself
and realise that it's you that's making this game.

Do you really know yourself
if you continually live for a better day,
and you can guess where you're heading,
but don't be afraid.
Do you really know yourself
without embracing the fears that'll seek you out
and not rest until you welcome them in.

Do I really have a part,
or am I just standing around in the shade
waiting for something to start
'n' someone to push me onto the stage,
where my mind will dissolve again
and appear in the audience?
Then I start to believe I am there,
when really I just didn't look within.

Do you really know yourself
if you continually live for a better day,
and you can guess where you're heading,
but don't be afraid.
Do you really know yourself
without embracing the fears that'll seek you out
and not rest until you welcome them in.

I don't mind,
but I know that someday you will leave me on this stage,
reading the lines you wrote for me.
Where are you to set me free?
I don't mind,
but I know that someday you will leave me on this stage,
reading the lines you wrote for me,
for there you will set me free.
