I can turn away and hold my breath a day

But I can't escape the stench of the lie

That's haunting my mind

I won't be free even if I'm deaf, dumb and blind



All those weary eyes with their wicked smiles

They come to my dreams, they're watching us now

They're after my head, they're after my life

Why can't they stay dead?



[Chorus:]

I confess to my sin, reaching deep within

It comes straight from my heart, where should I start

In revealing my thoughts, reaching deep within

I'm just letting it out and letting you in

Reaching within



It was so long ago, or was it yesterday

I can't seem to find a thread in my mind

A needle that's sharp that will make me whole

That's mending my soul



It's hard for me to plead, for your empathy

When hatred persists, whom can I persuade?

To forgive and forget

I threw the stone but I stand alone



[Chorus]



Dig in my head and you'll find what is on my mind

Take it all out, I insist that it won't be missed

Wake up the slumbering man,

Give him time to adapt to your world, I just know he can



[Chorus]
