--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
