What You Are
I walk into this room, oh
All eyes on me now
But i do not know the people inside
Look straight through me these eyes
Seeking more wisdom than i have to give away
Realize, realize what you are
What you've become just as I have
Are you and i so unalike?
I don't hear you just as I am
Afraid if we dance we might die
Mock the world, live say say,
Why don't you know?
If you live life, oh, then you become what you are
The sea is unsparing
We are all drifting away, away from you, I pray for you now
Hoping to God on high is
Like clinging to straws while drowning,
Oh realize, realize what you are
What you've become just as I have
Are you and i so unalike?
I don't hear you just as I am
Afraid if we dance we might die
Mock the world, live say say, why don't you know?
When you live life, then you become what you are
What you are
Is the beast in the 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
What you've become just as I have
Are you and I so unalike?
I don't hear you just as I am
Afraid if we dance we might die
Mock the world, give till you die
Don't you know, when you give life
Then you become what you are
Why don't trust me
Trust yourself
All eyes on me now
But i do not know the people inside
Look straight through me these eyes
Seeking more wisdom than i have to give away
Realize, realize what you are
What you've become just as I have
Are you and i so unalike?
I don't hear you just as I am
Afraid if we dance we might die
Mock the world, live say say,
Why don't you know?
If you live life, oh, then you become what you are
The sea is unsparing
We are all drifting away, away from you, I pray for you now
Hoping to God on high is
Like clinging to straws while drowning,
Oh realize, realize what you are
What you've become just as I have
Are you and i so unalike?
I don't hear you just as I am
Afraid if we dance we might die
Mock the world, live say say, why don't you know?
When you live life, then you become what you are
What you are
Is the beast in the 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
What you've become just as I have
Are you and I so unalike?
I don't hear you just as I am
Afraid if we dance we might die
Mock the world, give till you die
Don't you know, when you give life
Then you become what you are
Why don't trust me
Trust yourself
