Tried to find myself in a good friend of mine,

Tried to hide myself with tears and red wine,

But the more I tried, the harder it was,

Too many people answer questions why with because…

 

Tried to find myself in a good frame of mind,

Tried to hide myself from the pain of the worst kind,

But the more I tried, the harder it was,

Too many people answer questions why with because…

 

Tried to find myself in a world full of dreams,

Tried to hide myself from hurt that I wore on my sleeve,

But the more I tried, the harder it was,

Too many people answer questions why with because…

 

Tried to help out a good friend of mine,

Tried to help him see the light, but he’s so blind,

But the more he tries, the more he will see,

The answer to his questions, will soon set him free

Imaginary questions,

Imaginary lies,

Caught in this deception,

Entangled in her cries,

Dream of silver linings,

Dream of sister soul,

Caught in this deception,

For this is what you’re told,

 

Imaginary mentions,

Imaginary smiles,

Caught in this conception,

Not knowing reasons why,

Dream of the future,

Dream of what you’ll see,

What flows beneath the bridge,

Is the strength of you not me,

 

Free me,

Take me to the promised land,

Free me, tell me,

You know I’d understand,

Free me,

Take me to the promised land,

Free me,

You know what I am.
