turn away
for i'm wide awake
i see all that i am
what you could never be
turn around
you're all alone
we've all seen your disguise
you wore it so faithfully
you speak of conversion
how dare you cast the first stone
when the lights have dimmed
and the night is done
will you dare to count the cost
when you close your eyes
i bet that you don't know
when the time has come
and the curtain's closed
will you know what you have lost
when you tell your tales
i bet that you don't know
you're laughing alone
look away
your tears are all in vain
don't know you anymore
and i don't want to see
look around
is what you want to be
what you are right now
your conscience is failing me
i speak of aversion
how could i not have known
when the lights have dimmed ...
