You and I bring it around again with a fresh flow
Low blow, Tippin' ya over like a deck of cards
I'll tell yo where you are, stuck at the starting line
with nothing left to say,
Your ends unravel and your tips they start to fray
You think you know me, you're inside my head
But you ain't understood one single word that I have said.
Follow the leader is the name of the game you play
You wanna be takin' it but I'm gonna have my own way.
[CHORUS:]

Erase the face of your enemies
The night is mine ya deny this
Take it down, You've got that look on your face
You think you're up there but you don't even
know your own place.
You think you're something, make me do what you will
But I ain't buyin' you know that I have had my fill.
See your body fallin', deeper in a hole
It's all over now you've gotta reach inside your soul
Fightin' to control,
Denying what you know
The war inside your brain
Is like a sound insane.

[CHORUS]

Here I am in a house full of doors but no exits
In a light that is grey like the stain on my windows
All of this is a gift, such a painful companion
Inside of me

It's just something I know, the answer's not there
It comes and it goes and it frightens me
It's just something I know, the answer's not there
It comes and it goes and it frightens me

This feeling inside me can't confront the decay
To fall down on my knees and resume this charade
Believe me, this distance, it's not what I need
Inside of me

It's another story, some of it is blurred
I tried to understand him, I tried so hard
Time worked so well upon us inside of me
Inside my soul, Inside my soul

Time worked so well upon us
Inside of me, inside my soul
Inside of me, inside my soul

It's funny how a little truth can put things in perspective
usually i try to hide from all of life's unpleasantries
like corruption, lies and users
try to ignore all the abusers
but sometimes truth just slaps me in the face

And i can't hide
try to deny deception, but now i see the other side

I can't hide
try to regain my innocence
but something's changed inside

Funny how perceptions change when you know secret history
suddenly you see right past the thin veil of diplomacy
like the smiles that invite glare at you
like they're filled with spite
the warm handshakes just seem so out of place

And i can't hide
every person has a dark side please don't show me yours i don't really think i want to know you can't be trusted they say the truth will set you free but they don't say how deep the cut will be trust dies and paranoia takes its place and i can't hide

Somewhere in the back of my mind
Secretly I know you will find
Way amongst the blushing and glow
Teach me all the things I don't show

Mystery's a beautiful thing
What a gift a woman can bring
Never let it out just like that
Let him slowly figure it out

How can a flower bloom
Just over a day?
And at night
You've got to let the water drain in

I didn't want to fall in love with you
I didn't want to know the things I knew
It wasn't until I look into the mirror
Denial

You were like a power of nature
Telephatic beautiful creature
Understanding all my weakness
Patient love and know when it reaches

Cynical and that was just me
You were never supposed to be
Part of what I would call amazing

It took so long to finally see

How can a flower bloom
Just over a day?
And at night
You've got to let the water drain in

I didn't want to fall in love with you
I didn't want to know the things I knew
It wasn't until I look into the mirror
Denial

I didn't want to fall in love with you
I didn't want to know the things I knew
It wasn't until I look into the mirror
Denial

I see the way the pain goes like open minds for us
No complicated barriers to hold us back

I didn't want to fall in love with you
I didn't want to know the things I knew
It wasn't until I look into the mirror
Denial

I didn't want to fall in love with you
I didn't want to know the things I knew
It wasn't until I look into the mirror

What - never say what you mean
All I hear is a scream
Never say that to me
Never say that to me
Wait - wipe that shit off your face
Let's not stop till we bleed
The more you spit out your mouth the less I believe

Denial seems it had to come
Relied on me to say it all
Denial has left you all alone

I - How can all that shit that you said
Ever make any sense
Where did you run to - Bitch
While I was holding my breath?
It was sacred but faded into nothing
Never put that on me...
Never put that on me...

Denial seems it had to come
Relied on me to say it all
Denial has left you all alone

Denial seems it had to come
Relied on me to say it all
Denial has left you all alone

Waste

Denial seems it had to come
Relied on me to say it all
Denial has left you all alone

Denial seems it had to come
Relied on me to say it all
Denial has left you all alone

Somewhere in the back of my mind
Secretly I know you will find
Way amongst the blushing and glow
Teach me all the things I don't show

Mystery's a beautiful thing
What a gift a woman can bring
Never let it out just like that
Let him slowly figure it out

How can a flower bloom
Just over a day?
And at night
You've got to let the water drain in

I didn't want to fall in love with you
I didn't want to know the things I knew
It wasn't until I look into the mirror
Denial

You were like a power of nature
Telephatic beautiful creature
Understanding all my weakness
Patient, love and know when it reaches

Cynical and that was just me
You were never supposed to be

You are my only daughter, I guess I made you twice
You look inside my other, he'll give you bad advice
I will tell you I'm OK, but deep inside I'm afraid

I don't drink holy water, I'm not a son of Christ
I ain't no black messiah, and I don't load my dice
You can tell me you're all right, but why are you so afraid?

You're in denial, you never will believe it's you
Denial, you always hide behind the truth
You'll never believe it, you never believe it's you

I don't think I'm amazing. In fact I'm quite insane
To live inside my bucket, with all my plastic chains
People tell me every time, I look at the wrong all right

You're in denial, you never will believe it's you
Denial, you always hide behind the truth
You'll never believe it, you never believe it's you

You'll never believe it, you never believe it

Secrets told you, dreamland holds you, secrets told you
You wouldn't believe it, you couldn't conceive it
Secrets told you...

You wanna receive it, you gotta believe it's you

You're on a trip already, I'm tripping out alright
I'll get there slow and steady, just sit and hold on tight

Denial, you never will believe it's you
Denial, you always hide behind the truth
Denial, you never will believe it's you
Denial, you always hide behind the truth, yeah, yeah
Behind the truth, yeah, yeah
It's true, yeah, yeah
Behind the truth, yeah, yeah
It's you, yeah, yeah

Behind the truth, yeah, yeah
It's gonna be alright, just hold on tight
It's gonna be alright, just hold on tight

I remember the time when I was a little child
My father wouldn?t call or visit
He denied the fact that I even existed
He can?t deny the fact that I?m grown up strong and artistic
You can?t deny the fact that some of us are born different
You can?t deny the fact that your life can be gone in an instant
You can?t deny that fact that your wife left you
You can?t deny that fact somebody?s out to get you
I?ve seen so many things, so many times, so many people
So many lies, so many ways to deny
The fact that you love, the fact that you hate
The fact that you try to escape problems
The fact that you got ?em
I?m willing to lose, I?m willing to bet
I?m willing to try and die for respect
But if I have to
I?ll break it down for you and spell it out like a child
It seems everybody?s in denial

[Chorus]
You can?t deny
You can?t deny
You can?t deny what the truth is
Truth is
You can?t hold on to what you don?t know
So, let, let, it, it, go
You can?t deny
You can?t deny
You can?t deny what the truth is
Truth is
You can?t hold on to what you don?t know
So, let, let, it, it, go

You can?t deny the fact that your past haunts you
You can?t deny the fact that your girlfriend doesn?t want you
You can?t deny the fact that your life?s been shifted
You can?t deny the fact that I?m god gifted
You can?t deny the fact that everyone?s against you
You can?t deny the fact that your mortgage and rent is due
You can?t deny that fact that you?re falling apart slowly
You can?t deny you?re depressed, stressed and lonely
If only you can see what I see, you?d feel the same
Denial?s a game it only takes one to play
You?re lying, denying and everything seems strange
You can?t deny the fact that things change
For those who came to play the game
For those who called my name, for those who feel pain
I tried to live, I tried to die, I tried to stand strong, I?ve tried to cry
Now somehow someway I plan to stay, I plan to play
I look to pray, my feelings won?t go away
You can?t handle the truth when you?re acting like a child
You?re still lost in denial

[Chorus]

You borrow the keys to your girlfriends ride
You find another man?s ring on the passengers? side
You thought you kept her happy with the money you spent
You see them holding hands and you still think they?re friends
So sick of these bands that demand respect
You can count on one hand all the fans they get
So who?s the band that electrified your stages
You can?t deny the fact that we?re headed for greatness

[Chorus]

In the face of all that's obvious I continue to wreck my life... So set in my ways it's impossible to do what's good... Smokin, jokin + boozin my time away Just livin for the pain + lies caught in denial

Chorus: Look in the mirror to only see a liars face in front of me I've tried so hard to heed the warnings my heart is turning

On with self slaught, the barfly gives in... once again the bottle is judge + jury He's caught in a struggle that calls for his life... so caught up in his own self destruction, caught in denial...

Chorus:

I made my own bed I'll sit in the mess this poison booze lifestyle is a dear friend And I know it's a lie, but it's all that I have I'm going right for the end with total abandon....!

chorus:

It's real
