Staring into the water
I wonder 'what kind of fool am I?
Am I the one who sits stone silent, turning a blind eye?
Am I the one who will never be satisfied?'
Oh, and you standing there.
You're told to act tough like you've seen it all before.
Be a man, be a man don't you open up that door,
keep it locked tight.
Give it up, step into the light.
Give it up for me.
Give it up, step into the light.
Give it up for me.
Strangers, we're all wearing masks
of who I think I am, what you want me to see.
Good God, how will we ever understand each others eyes
if we keep hiding.
Give it up, step into the light.
Give it up for me.
Give it up, don't you dare be shy,
Give it up for me.
Darling, look in my eyes.
We're all just skeletons in the waiting line.
Go on, keep telling me, keep up your disguise.
Oh, be gone, be gone ye wicked spirits rise.
Give it up, step into the light.
Give it up for me.
Give it up, step into the light.
Give it up for me.
