So I step off like a wounded child before you I never knew what it took to be real Until I looked in your eyes, Shattering myths about the lie Then I crawl inside Show me the light and take away how it feels when they crucify me And I say I know I’ll make it through but it’s hard to be real But you show through suffering your true colors You’re always standing tall and though I try to be I’m feeling weak because I stray from the tree But what’s it doing here Then I fall back into line Where they hurt me I do my time over again but you can’t Where do you find the power And I say I know I’ll make it through but it’s hard to be real But you show through suffering your true colors anyway Take me alive oh they take me alive And they suck it out And I say I know it’s hard to be real But your show your true colors anyway
