Fish - Vigil In A Wilderness Of Mirrors Lyrics
Listen to meJust hear me outIf I could have your attentionJust quieten down for a voice in the crowdI get so confused and I dont understandI know you feel the same way youve always wanted to sayBut you dont get the chanceJust a voice in the crowdI dont know the score anymoreIts not clear anymoreI cant tell right from wrong anymoreI just dont understandI was sitting here thinking of exchanging a new world for oldLike changing the channels on tvOr the dirt that we stand in to goldWhen I was youngMy father told me just bad guys dieAt the time just a little white lieIt was one of the first but it hurt me the mostAnd the truth stung like tears in my eyesThat even the good guys must dieTheres no reasoning no crimes and I never knew whyEven now it still makes me cryIf theres somebody up there, could they throw me down a lineJust a little helping hand, just a little understandingJust some answers to the questions that surround me nowIf theres somebody up there, could they throw me down a lineJust a little guiding light to tell wrong from rightJust some answers to the questions that Im asking youI keep a vigil in a wilderness of mirrorsWhere nothing here is ever what it seemsYou stand so close but you never understand itFor all that we see is not all that it seems, am I blind?And you sit there and talk revolutionBut can you tell me just whos in command?When you tell me the forces were fightingThen Ill join you and gladly make plansBut for now only our t-shirts cry freedomAnd our voices are gagged by our greedOur minds are harnessed by knowledgeBy the hill and the will to succeedAnd if thats not what you believeWould you just let me knowIm not standing aloneThat Im not just a voice in the crowdIf theres somebody up there, could they throw me down a lineJust a little helping hand, just a little understandingJust some answers to the questions that Im asking youIf theres somebody up there, just throw me down a lineJust a little guiding light to tell wrong from rightJust some answers to the questions that Im asking youIll keep a vigil in a wilderness of mirrorsWhere nothing is exactly how it seemsYoure reaching out, youre so close you can touch itBut it all disappears when its always so nearBut one day we will find that we stand in the lightUntil then Ill keep a vigil in a wilderness of mirrorsNothing here is ever what it seemsIm scared to shout in case I draw attention from the powersThat preside over our minds and our livesWhen they find what I want is the deadliest weapon, that is truthDay by day its getting louderAnd day by day its getting strongerBut when I cant scream no more and I need reassurance,I listen to the crowdAnd the boy stood and stared at the hillAnd the hill - it stared back
