Inside Out

I see you so clearly but my own reflection
Is muddied and bloodied and lacking in vision
The moment you touch me, I'm shocked by the presence
Outside of my own introverted existence

Inside out maybe would help me see things from the other side
Never doubted all I had just never knew which way to ride

Oppressed my own hypocrisy
Subject to mediocrity
Why do I always let this sin
Take over me and worse yet win?

If I were to tell you something you should do
Please take my advice, it'll be good to you
It's just not for me because me is a question
I've yet to find answer, searched too long to mention

Inside out maybe would help me make a clearer choice
Tell myself repeatedly, yet inside there's no real voice

Disguised as any normal man
I struggle through as best I can
I tell myself, but we all know
There's so much more that could be shown

Do as i say not as I do
Hypocritical fucker that I
Am to give you advice while I glide
Through life on the side
Never taking the ride
Myself as I hide
Beneath self-righteous lies
But the way that I speak of
It is truly the right one
Just cannot take part
Take these words to my own heart

So, I leech my way through and I pray for salvation
