I am transparent   An open book   There's no choice in the matter   But the breath from my mind    Is living air   And the notes from my heart    Are what I share       Words weren't made for cowards   There's not much to hide behind   We can see for a mile   Without our eyes   I can see through a smile   To any lie       Must I pry your lips apart?   And look for thoughts    Look for thoughts    Beneath your tongue       So you think nothing said   Is nothing lost?   Well, I would buy every line   At any cost       Do I have to dig?   Do I have to prod?   Reach into your chest   And pull your feelings out?       Are you dancing dead?   Or maybe walking toast?   If you feel anything   Be brave   Come forth   Let it show       Tell me what d'you think of life?   Tell me do you think at all?   Never fear   There's a place   Where you are safe   Where you don't have to be real    Or have a face       My time's too short to waste on   Things you say without your brain   Will you paint works of art    When you speak?   When you open your mouth   Will I weep?       Do I have to dig?   Do I have to prod?   Reach into your chest   And pull your feelings out?       Are you dancing dead?   Or maybe walking toast?   If you feel anything   Be brave   Come forth   Let it show       I will watch you like a hawk   Wait for you to make a slip   Think it's easy to fake what you know?   You'll never fool anyone   With your little show       You are transparent regardless of   All the efforts made   Efforts made to mask your face   You reveal everything in a phrase   You conceal what your mouth betrays       Do I have to dig?   Do I have to prod?   Reach into your chest   And pull your feelings out?       Are you dancing dead?   Maybe walking toast?   If you feel anything   Be brave   Come forth   Let it show       Do I have to dig?   Do I have to prod?   Reach into your chest   And pull your feelings out?       Are you dancing dead?   Maybe walking toast?   If you feel anything   Be brave   Come forth   Let it show
