GmEveryone wants to Bbknow me, but they Fdon't know how to Clook. They Gmdon't know what to Bbask me; they Fcan't see under my Ceyes. My Gmmind is obscured and proBbtected, still, Fpeople poke and Cprod GmTrying to break Bbthrough the walls, but you Fcan't show a blind man Ccolor.
[Chorus]
My Gmmind isn't for Ebyou to know, to Bbvisualize and Apick apart. To Dmfeel what's going Fon below in the A7deepest layers Aof my heart. Cuz my Gmmind is mine, Ebcaged away so you Bbcan't break the Fbars I've built. To Cmlive in my mind would be Ebsuicide, so Bblive in your mind inFstead.
[Verse 2]
GmWe don't think the same, Bbyou and I, and I Fwon't pretend to Cknow your mind. I Gmwon't destroy the Bbwalls you've built cuz Fyou can learn a lot Cfrom the bricks. The Gmwalls aren't walls, you Bbsee: they're Fwindows to our Csoul, but better yet The Gmcages of our hearts, empty Bbthough they seem, are Fwindows too, covered in Cdust and blood.
[Chorus]
My Gmsong is for Ebyou to know, to Bbcomtemplate and Apick apart. To Dmfeel what I Ffeel below in the A7deepest layers Aof my heeart. Cuz these Gmwords are mine, Ebfreed today, so Bbyou can clean the window FI painted. To Cmsing my song would be Ebsuicide, so Bbwrite your own song inFstead.
[Verse 3]
GmDeath is quick, but Bblife is quicker, so Fdon't waste it singing Cother people's words. GmSing your own song, Bbfeel your beat. FWhatever it sounds like, Copen your window So if Gmpeople look, they'll see Bbyou, not someone Felse's mask, though a Cwork of art No Gmmask is like your Bbface, no song like Fmine, so find your face, Cfind your words. And Bbsing Athem.
[Chorus]
Our Gmwords are meant to be Ebsung, to be Bbheard and Apicked apart. To reDmveal what's going Fon below in the A7deepest layers Aof our hearts. Cuz our Gmfaces are masked, Ebhidden away, so Bbwe can paint a Fbetter picture. To Cmlive a mask is Ebsuicide, so Fshow your face inBbstead.
