and it felt like a car crash, shattered glass
had to pick the peices up, no turning back
but the mirror still doesn't seem to look right
even though the peices fit the picture doesn't look quite
as good as the one on the box, lookin in
look again, double take, kind of hard to comprehend
what you look like others, when you see it for youself
when you realize you are wrong, when you realize you need help

and you wish you didn't have to change, wish you could just stay the same
wish you had some skeletons in the closet that you could blame
wish you could forget it all, wish you go back in time
wish that you were young again, wish that you would just die
wish you didn't cross the line, wish you hadn't jumped the ship
wish you were content with everything just being magic
wish that you could close your eyes, deny the hurt that was inside
pretending you were happy cuz you didn't know it was a lie

i know therefore i am, at least i think
and when the light hit my eyes, i had to blink
stumbled out the cave, cuckoos nest filled with madness
shadows calling each other fake, half empty glass shit,
i'll start thinking in terms of truth and logic
uncertainty's a problem and i am gonna solve it
gonna shed this human skin, be above all this
leave this earth behind, close my eyes, and absolve it

remove my emotion, remove my bias,
remove my soul, and remove my desires,
silence the noise and just exist,
in a universe that's finite and consistent,
cuz it all follows rules, theres a rhyme and a reason,
the clockwork turns, then the earth, then the seasons,
it's all been determined, it's part of the plan
and theres no use tryin to bite at god's hand

but it turns out that's not even possible
we can't answer everything, we proved it, logical
no matter what we do, theres always truth unresolveable
so we still need instinct to guide us, improbable
i'm stuck being human, so is everyone else,
and if this is all there is, why kill myself?
if there's a god, great, if there ain't, no biggie
i'll just do my best, and i'll help others with me

cuz thats all we can do when the goin gets tough
try to help one another step away from the bluff
cuz we don't know whats out there, we'll just get depressed
cuz we'll never have more then an educated guess, when we
think about the next life, think about the white light
think about the time we waste if it turns out were not right
i don't know the truth, but i know it hurts inside,
when i see another person die in front of my eyes

Come what will and come what may but
i've got faith in the human race, that
one day we will work this out,
one day we will work this out.
