What You Are

[Verse 1]

I walk into this room, 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

[Chorus 1]

What you've become, just as I have

Are you and I so unalike?

Huddled here you just as I am

Afraid if we dance we might die

[Chorus 2]

Mock the world

Live safe, say why

Don't you know when you give life

Then you become what you are

[Verse 2]

The sea is unsparing

We're all drifting away

Away from you

But I pray for you now

Hoping to God on high

Is like clinging to straws

While drowning, oh

Realize, realize what you are

[Chorus 1] + [Chorus 2]

[Verse 3]

What you are

Is a 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

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 4]

What the world give to you

Don't you know

When you give life

Then you become what you are

[Outro]

Don't trust me

Trust you

Up to you

Trust you
