I can turn away and hold my breath a day   But I can't escape the stench of the lie   That's haunting my mind   I won't be free even if I'm deaf, dumb and blind      All those weary eyes with their wicked smiles   They come to my dreams, they're watching us now   They're after my head, they're after my life   Why can't they stay dead?      [Chorus:]   I confess to my sin, reaching deep within   It comes straight from my heart, where should I start   In revealing my thoughts, reaching deep within   I'm just letting it out and letting you in   Reaching within      It was so long ago, or was it yesterday   I can't seem to find a thread in my mind   A needle that's sharp that will make me whole   That's mending my soul      It's hard for me to plead, for your empathy   When hatred persists, whom can I persuade?   To forgive and forget   I threw the stone but I stand alone      [Chorus]      Dig in my head and you'll find what is on my mind   Take it all out, I insist that it won't be missed   Wake up the slumbering man,   Give him time to adapt to your world, I just know he can      [Chorus]
