lyrics

Tell me what I've been doing wrong,
Show me a place where I belong,
It's not that easy being here,
Show me so I can see it in the mirror,

It's not that I'm not self-assured,
Just that the lines have all been blurred,
And right from wrong is wrong and right,
And it makes no difference in the dark or the light.

And well I'm feeling a little lost from time to time,
It's getting harder every day to find some peace of mind,
But what I lack is a common path that leads to an end.

I don't know what to do with this place,
I don't know what to do with myself in front of your face,
I don't know what to do with this place,
I don't know what to do with myself in front of your face,
In front of your face.

I know that I could have it all,
If I dream big instead of small,
But all I want is to avoid the rush,
But I guess that's asking too much.

But I know no one can be an island,
Nothing can change without the use of violence,
And such a place will never be for as long as we live.

I don't know what to do with this place,
I don't know what to do with myself in front of your face,
I don't know what to do with this place,
I don't know what to do with myself in front of your face,
In front of your face.
