What You Are

I walk into this room
Oh, all eyes on me now
But I do not know the people inside

They look straight through me, these eyes
Seeking more wisdom than I have to give away
Realize, realize what you are

What you've become
Just as I have
Are you and I so unalike

I don't hear you
Just as I am
Afraid if we dance we might die

Mock the world
Live safe
Say why

Don't you know
If you live life
Then you become what you are

The seasons sparing
We're all drifting away, away from you
I pray for you now

Hoping to God on high
Is like clinging to straws while drowning, oh
Realize, realize what you are

What you've become
Just as I have
Are you and I so unalike

I don't hear you
Just as I am
Afraid if we dance we might die

Mock the world
Live safe
Say why

Don't you know
When you live life
Then you become what you are

(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

What you've become
Just as I have
Are you and I so unalike

I don't hear you
Just as I am
Afraid if we dance we might die

What the world
Gives to you

Don't you know
When you give life
Then you become what you are

Don't trust me
Trust you
Up to you
Trust you
