I can turn away and hold my breath a day
   But I can't escape the stench of the lie
   That's haunting my mind
   I won't be free even if I'm deaf, dumb and blind
  
   All those weary eyes with their wicked smiles
   They come to my dreams, they're watching us now
   They're after my head, they're after my life
   Why can't they stay dead?
  
   [Chorus:]
   I confess to my sin, reaching deep within
   It comes straight from my heart, where should I start
   In revealing my thoughts, reaching deep within
   I'm just letting it out and letting you in
   Reaching within
  
   It was so long ago, or was it yesterday
   I can't seem to find a thread in my mind
   A needle that's sharp that will make me whole
   That's mending my soul
  
   It's hard for me to plead, for your empathy
   When hatred persists, whom can I persuade?
   To forgive and forget
   I threw the stone but I stand alone
  
   [Chorus]
  
   Dig in my head and you'll find what is on my mind
   Take it all out, I insist that it won't be missed
   Wake up the slumbering man,
   Give him time to adapt to your world, I just know he can
  
   [Chorus]
