lyrics

Well your eyes they asked to see me
Oh but they couldn't see what's inside
Only I can hear what's hiding
I see your answers as they laugh at me try

Oh I'm running circles and stairs
Inside a person who doesn't really care
Oh I'd like to let you read
But I promise you you wouldn't wanna see

The closest things are the hardest to see
It's behind my eyes and it's always in front of me
This is nothing you can duplicate
Can I start again
See what I can create

Passing worlds as I drink the air
I cannot run cause it always will be there
Potent sounds as I lie in bed
They never tell you exactly what they said

Oh it's the closest thing
Revealed only as I sit down and sing
Oh it's a secret lane
Escape in the hope of going insane

The closest things are the hardest to see
It's behind my eyes and it's always in front of me
This is nothing you can duplicate
Can I start again
See what I can create

So I sit and I watch you hide
From everything that you never wanna find
You tell your lies as your saving grace
You cannot hide from the truth in the grave

Oh well will you ever see
Distorted dreams won't you free
Oh I cannot turn away
From manic laughter as I watch us all pay

The closest things are the hardest to see
It's behind my eyes and it's always in front of me
This is nothing you can duplicate
Can I start again
See what I can create

Our knowledge is what we can't see
Everybody knows nobody
All that's said is life's for living
I'd like to join you but I just can't give in

The closest things are the hardest to see
It's behind my eyes and it's always in front of me
This is nothing you can duplicate
Can I start again
See what I can create
