All the world's a stage, a cage, an empty rage A heated look, a casual glance A well-known stranger, with an unfamiliar life Jumping from one extreme to the other, on a whim It's a never-ending battle, to not just muddle through But, to rise above it all, and do cartwheels in the sky... There's Hell in my eyes, but Heaven in my touch It's a constant balance, a constant test, a constant choice And that's something that I didn't know before So, it seems to me that I've changed a little, lately That I've grown, in some ways, for the better But mostly, I'm still the same girl you knew With a mending heart, and a ready smile With that same silly tendency to be naive 'Cause I still believe in miracles, and in fairytales I can see goodness in the very heart of darkness Just as I saw the light in your eyes I still can see it, even now... But, I am no fool, I am no stranger to your ways I know there are times where you simply refuse to see things You just close your eyes, and turn your head away I guess we all are guilty of doing that, now and then When there are things we do not want to see, and acknowledge But, this time, you've given the Devil his due This time, for the first time perhaps, your eyes are open And you see exactly what it is that you have done But, there is no blame, for there is no crime We are all only human, subject to error, prone to mistakes And it's all just madness, foolishness, life... |
