Lyrics

Perspective

Yes I have a song
Maybe you would like to hear it
Yeah, there's a thing or two that I could still
Say to you

And yes I have some demons
And yes I hear them, too
But that doesn't mean they don't
Speak through you

Maybe my wishes are the sum of your fears
And maybe my seconds are to you more like years
And maybe my time takes up all of your space
Maybe my freedom resides in your hiding place

And I am hiding here
For all of you to see
For though you will never know
You'll know a shade of me
And I am living here
In such a minor key
But there's still harmony
There's still a catchy melody

Yes, I have a light
That maybe you would like to stand in
But it's a private invitation
So no, you can't bring your friends
And yes, I have a mind
There for your understanding
Study my face, now can you tell
Where my truth begins and if it ends?

Maybe my angel is what you call demon
Maybe my conscious state is what you call dreaming'
And maybe my serenity is the spark of your fuse
And maybe my peace is your mother's abuse

And I am crying here
For all of you to tease
For though you may throw your stones
You'll never bring me to my knees
And I'll be waiting here
'Til you've taken all you need
Because I'm never empty
I overflow infinitely
