LyricsListenReleaseAvailable OnGigsGuitar Tabs
I pretend that I know where I'm going
I pretend I know where I came from
Or the fear will engulf me completely
I chose to waltz this bridge of sighs
Act my age in an age of indifference
I'm as big as I can dream
I forget in the truth of my nature
I forget to forgive, so I look away
Look away
Look away
Look away
Look away
Look away
Look away
I can't stop, so I carry on
I don't trust God is on my side
Indirect as the gaze of a geisha
I'm still that lost and lonely child
Look away
Look away
Look away
Look away
Look away
Look away
All mirrors shattered
Poor plastic clown
All that really matters
You weren't in the building when the walls came crashing down
All mirrors shattered
Poor plastic clown
All that really matters
You weren't in the building when the walls came crashing down
All mirrors shattered
Poor plastic clown
All that really matters
I pretend I know where I came from
Or the fear will engulf me completely
I chose to waltz this bridge of sighs
Act my age in an age of indifference
I'm as big as I can dream
I forget in the truth of my nature
I forget to forgive, so I look away
Look away
Look away
Look away
Look away
Look away
Look away
I can't stop, so I carry on
I don't trust God is on my side
Indirect as the gaze of a geisha
I'm still that lost and lonely child
Look away
Look away
Look away
Look away
Look away
Look away
All mirrors shattered
Poor plastic clown
All that really matters
You weren't in the building when the walls came crashing down
All mirrors shattered
Poor plastic clown
All that really matters
You weren't in the building when the walls came crashing down
All mirrors shattered
Poor plastic clown
All that really matters
