Eidolon

I couldn't hide my face to claim my innocence;
I wouldn't have the sense to keep going on.
Maybe I'm just too proud to stand in your defense?
Still I feel the pull of hidden wires.

I'm never gonna try, I lie, I dared to speak my mind,
When all the old changes made before
Don't seem to make a change at all.

Are you real?

I wouldn't find my place with this poor disguise.
Why can't I face myself without these lies?
I couldn't find my path without knowing it.
I've been around every turn; I know what's left is right.

I never let it die, I tried,
I dared to free my mind.
And all the same changes as before
Don't seem to change a thing at all.
I'm never gonna try, I know that I won't go back.
It started with a smile, I know, but it won't come back.
This is real.

Should've seen it coming,
'Cause now I'm free for nothing.
Always taking me far beneath the middle.

I'm never gonna try, I know that I won't go back.
It started with a smile, I know, but it won't come back.
