Reflected (On My Side)

Look at all the happy people
See their faces change
As you walk into the room
Hundreds of years
In the eyes of strangers
Make the back of your neck burn

Free to pass, to conform
Free to wonder what belongs
To the bleeding man inside
Freedom bears no credence
When the lack of it's still being justified
(In small minds)

Some things never stir the hearts of men
Some mistakes take more than mere regrets to mend
In spite of all the twisting of truth
I still see myself reflected in you
But a mountain of distorted vision
Has me straining for a view
Is it fair to say that it's

Reflected
(On my, my, my side)
Reflected
(A wall exists and if I had a fist, I'd bust it down)
Reflected
(On my, my, my side)
Reflected
(In this I take no pride)
If I had a wish then there would be no sides

There should be no difference here
No mistrust, no suspicion here
What we are, what we see
To fabricate redemptive boasts
Confusing all, condemning most
Is feigning fidelity

Toss a glance into the pool
Open my eyes and listen
Wish the rippling surface pure
Free of dissension
Nothing can change the way of friends
Nothing else can bring this chilling season to an end

In spite of all the twisting of truth
I still see myself reflected in you
But lingering traces of deception
Blinding vision burn like poison fumes
I don't wanna know if it's

Reflected
(On my, my, my side)
Reflected
(A wall exists and if I had a fist, I'd bust it down)
Reflected
(On my, my, my side)
Reflected
(In this I take no pride)
If I had a wish then there would be no sides

Oh, this trend of change
See's nothing changing
Keep dreaming!
Oh, I wanna walk like you
I wanna cry with you
I wanna feel the way you
Feel the way you do

In spite of all the twisting of truth
I still see myself reflected in you
But a mountain of distorted vision
Has me straining for a view
I don't wanna know if it's

Reflected
