--song--
<MR>x4
<Vs_a>
walk into this room, oh, all eyes on me now
<Vs_b>
but i do not know the people inside
<MR>x2
<Vs_a>
look straight through me these eyes, seeking more wisdom than I
<Vs_b>
have to give away
<MR>
realize, realize what you are
<Ch_a>
what you've become
<Ch_b>
just as i have
<Ch_a>
are you and I so alike?
i don't hear you
<Ch_b>
just as I am
<Ch_a>
afraid if we dance we might die
mock the world
<Ch_b> <Ch_a>
lips they say "whyyyy?"
<Ch_b>
don't you know when you give life
<MR>
then you become what you are
<MR>
<Vs_a>
the sea is unsparing
we're all drifting away
<Vs_b>
away from you
i pray for you
<MR>x2
now
<Vs_a>
hoping to god on high
is like clinging to straws
<Vs_b>
while drowning
<MR>
realize, realize what you are...
<Ch_a>
what you've become
<Ch_b>
just as i have
<Ch_a>
are you and I so alike?
i don't hear you
<Ch_b>
just as I am <Ch_a>
afraid if we dance we might die
mock the world
<Ch_b> <Ch_a>
lips they say white liiiiies
<Ch_b>
don't trust me, love yourself
then you'll become what you are
<Ref>x4
what you are is the beast in a lover's arms
what you are is the devil in the sweet, sweet kiss
what you are is missing a piece
what you are is a puzzle to me
<Ch_a>
what you've become
<Ch_b>
just as i have
<Ch_a>
are you and I so alike?
i don't hear you
<Ch_b>
just as I am <Ch_a>
afraid if we dance we might die
mock the world
<Ch_b> <Ch_a>
lips they say liiiiies
<Ch_b>
don't you know, when you give life
then you become what you are
<Ref>
what you are is a puzzle
