Lifehouse

Confusion sets in and is holding me tight
This silence is as cold as this winter night
I’m not looking for answers just picking a fight
Not pulling my punches this time
Delusion walks up and sits down for a while
Says son you’ll make it through this if you just wave and smile
You can fool the whole world for a while
All that you’ll lose is your mind

And so help me I’m gonna find clarity
I’ve been chasing her down on my knees
She’s always running slipping through my hands like a dream
Leaves me like a book with no theme
I’ll be waiting for you to come back to me, clarity

I’m walking in the streets past the old promenade
I smell whiskey and cigarettes, identity fraud
People on the corner all trying to play God
Over the bar flies
I feel disconnected from the rest of the world
I see an old woman with hair white as a pearl
I see thousands of people but I don’t see my girl
I need her to open my eyes

And so help me I’m gonna find clarity
I’ve been chasing her down on my knees
She’s always running slipping through my hands like a dream
Leaves me like a book with no theme
I’ll be waiting for you to come back to me, clarity

As I drive in my car I’m between here and there
Just like my life I’m so well aware
This freeway’s as empty as the open air
I’m waiting for the sun
My mind is at home but both eyes on the road
My shoulders are carrying a heavy load
I wish someone would tell me which way I should go
Cause all the signs bleed into one
