Recognize

(álbum: Endangered Species - 2004)

Well I've had enough
Of these selfish crimes
I hurt myself again
Not knowing why
It seems so easy
To leave it all behind
And avoid the truth I think I'd rather just go blind

Then everything erupts
My life has come unglued
And the ties that bind have left me
What am I to do?

Can't seem to recognize
That stare behind those eyes
Who is this man I see?
Who's looking back at me?
Can't focus through the pain
And I am fading into nothing?
The reflection must get clearer

I think I'm cracking up
Like I've lost my mind
I hurt myself again
Still don't know why
I end up the same way
Each and every time
I can't avoid the truth
Theres just nowhere to run and hide

Then everything erupts
Just like I knew it would
I'm down here on and off
It never felt that good
Is this what I've become
My life has come unglued
And the ties that bind have left me
What am I to do?

Can't seem to recognize
That stare behind those eyes
Who is this man I see?
Who's looking back at me?
Can't focus through the pain
And I am fading into nothing?
The reflection must get clearer than it appears to be right now

There must be someone I can see....
Theres gotta be something for me
Show it now, let it go free
I know it's there waiting on me
Let it out, let it go free

Can't seem to recognize
That stare behind those eyes
Who is this man I see?
Who's looking back at me?
Can't focus through the pain
And I am fading into nothing
The reflection must get clearer
