The Convincer

They watched you from afar But close enough to taste They saw everything that you did That put you in this place This hollow sun has set Beneath a falling star I wonder what you are They tried to let you go Afraid to leave the world below Just show me who you are Survive a sense of pride Whether it's laugh or cry It's showing what you are Stage, rate, validate Those wires should carry you But they brought you to your knees This fear is something new to you A paradigm diseased But could this be the new distraction? To follow and obey Endless we see that fear in your eyes That there is no sweeter prize One chance, one life A helpless cry For change, remove The myth, the lie You search, you seek But cannot find The buzz, the bite It won't be kind What glitters doesn't always shine That little part of you is mine And here tonight No need to hide Whether it's laugh or cry Just show me who you are They tried to let you go Afraid to leave the world below Just show me who you are Survive a sense of pride Whether it's laugh or cry It's showing what you are Stage, rate, validate
