Not In What I Say
[1st v:]
So
So long ago
Centuries away
I figured it all out
And I know
Fighting to free myself
From pain that wanted
To hold on to me
Fighting to free myself
From what wanted to
Create more of what I already
Lived before
Memories that live on inside of me
Its so ironic
So unreal
How you can believe
In a plan
Are you kidding me....
Common sense helps you there
It helps to figure anything out
Takes you where you should be
Baby....
You're living out 'the plan'
You created....
[1st ch:]
Its not in what I do
Not in what I say
Its in the obvious
What is true
You just twist your own thoughts
To pacify your own insecurities
Its not up above
Its not even in magic
What lives in hate
What lives in love.....
Its not in what I say
Its in what is obvious and true
The soul lives on and on
Until it reaches purity
Complete the journey
By realizing what is the truth
Why is the obvious
Always so hard to accept
For you
[2nd v:]
The truth for so many
Is always so hard
To accept
Feel.... see.... hear
A lie is always beautiful
Because it covers the truth
But
Leaves those followers always
Always
Wanting..... desiring more
Because they'll never be satisfied
Never feel fulfilled
Enough is never enough
Take and break
Fill in the gaps
With everything so rough
{* Bridge Over Lay *}
When the sun shines
When the rain falls
When things seem bad
When one feels so sad
We're given the chance to correct
What we feel is right
How can you figure it out standing in the dark
Common sense says....
Turn on the light
{* Bridge End *}
Its not in what I say
But ask yourself this
Why do you turn away
From what is true
From all that is true
Answer
Because you want to create your own reality
This way you can sit back
Saying
As long as things go the way I want
Its cool
Its all cool....
When the sun shines on the truth
You can say
That's not the way it should be
It has to be your way
To be the right way
The tide rides in
The tide rides out
Watch it.... watch closely
Then perhaps you'll be able to see....to hear
Understand
All that is true
Finally....
Let it in....
Let the reality in
What is all in
What I say
Is what you misunderstand
Believing that I am a fool
Who'd believe that
You needed me to care
For me to be there....
That you needed my love
That is why it is best for me
To just .... fade away
[2nd ch:]
Its not what I do
Not in what I say
Its in the obvious
Of what is true
You just twist your own thoughts
To pacify your own insecurities
Its not up above
Its not even in magic
What lives in hate
What lives in love....
Its not in what I say
Its in what is obvious and true
The soul lives on and on
Until it reaches purity
Complete the journey by realizing
What is the truth
Why is the obvious
Always so hard to accept
For you....
