Turning Into You

歌詞

Let ‘em make me guilty for taking time to myself Trying to be everything to everybody else Take on the load even though it kills my back Explode at the wrong time when I wasn’t even attacked Remember everything then selectively forget Hear only what applies to me but listen with intent Laugh when it’s not funny and cry too easily Give advice when nobody ever asked it of me It’s You – staring at me through my own eyes Laughing at me through my own lines Carved into my face like a tree of life That’s yours and everybody else who came before us We all try in vain to turn the other way But there’s nothing I can do I’m turning into you Keep on talking and refuse to take the hint Fall asleep before I finish all my shit Hide the chip with a cool designer touch You’d never know I hold on to every sucker punch It’s You – staring at me through my own eyes Laughing at me through my own lines Carved into my face like a tree of life That’s yours and everybody else who came before us We all try in vain to turn the other way But there’s nothing I can do I’m turning into you We grow into beasts when we try to break the mold And it hurts like hell to admit we’re growing old We repent and we redeem Yet every breath creases the perfection we seek There is a goodness and a light I recognize I feel your hand as I hold my child tight Forgive me Mother Father Brother and Sis I never meant to cause you any pain by this Hey it’s me staring at you through your own eyes Laughing at you through your own lines Carved into your face like a tree of life That’s yours and everybody else who came before us We all try in vain to turn the other way And there’s nothing I can do I’m turning into you I’m turning into you... Turning into you
