Vigil In A Wilderness Of Mirrors Lyrics

    Listen to me
    Just hear me out
    If i could have your attention
    Just quieten down for a voice in the crowd
    I get so confused and i don't understand
    I know you feel the same way you've always wanted to say
    But you don't get the chance
    Just a voice in the crowd

    I don't know the score anymore
    It's not clear anymore
    I can't tell right from wrong anymore
    I just don't understand
    I was sitting here thinking of exchanging a new world for old
    Like changing the channels on tv
    Or the dirt that we stand in to gold

    When i was young
    My father told me just bad guys die
    At the time just a little white lie
    It was one of the first but it hurt me the most
    And the truth stung like tears in my eyes
    That even the good guys must die
    There's no reasoning no crimes and i never knew why
    Even now it still makes me cry

    If there's somebody up there, could they throw me down a line
    Just a little helping hand, just a little understanding
    Just some answers to the questions that surround me now
    If there's somebody up there, could they throw me down a line
    Just a little guiding light to tell wrong from right
    Just some answers to the questions that i'm asking you
    I keep a vigil in a wilderness of mirrors
    Where nothing here is ever what it seems
    You stand so close but you never understand it
    For all that we see is not all that it seems, am i blind?

    And you sit there and talk revolution
    But can you tell me just who's in command?
    When you tell me the forces we're fighting
    Then i'll join you and gladly make plans
    But for now only our t-shirts cry freedom
    And our voices are gagged by our greed
    Our minds are harnessed by knowledge
    By the hill and the will to succeed
    And if that's not what you believe
    Would you just let me know
    I'm not standing alone
    That i'm not just a voice in the crowd

    If there's somebody up there, could they throw me down a line
    Just a little helping hand, just a little understanding
    Just some answers to the questions that i'm asking you
    If there's somebody up there, just throw me down a line
    Just a little guiding light to tell wrong from right
    Just some answers to the questions that i'm asking you
    I'll keep a vigil in a wilderness of mirrors
    Where nothing is exactly how it seems
    You're reaching out, you're so close you can touch it
    But it all disappears when it's always so near
    But one day we will find that we stand in the light
    Until then i'll keep a vigil in a wilderness of mirrors
    Nothing here is ever what it seems
    I'm scared to shout in case i draw attention from the powers
    That preside over our minds and our lives
    When they find what i want is the deadliest weapon, that is truth

    Day by day it's getting louder
    And day by day it's getting stronger
    But when i can't scream no more and i need reassurance,
    I listen to the crowd

    And the boy stood and stared at the hill
    And the hill - it stared back
