Joe Walsh - The Confessor Lyrics
If you look at your reflection in the bottom of a well,What you see is only on the surface.When you try to see the meaning, hidden underneath,The measure of the depth can be deceiving.The bottom has a rocky reputationYou can feel it in the distance the deeper down you stare.From up above it's hard to see but you knowwhen you're there.On the bottom words are shallow.On the surface talk is cheap.You can only judge the distance by the company you keepIn the eyes of the CONFESSOR.In the eyes of the Confessor,There's no place you can hide.You can't hide from the eyes (of the Confessor)Don't you even try.In the eyes of the ConfessorYou can't tell a lie,You cannot tell a lie (to the Confessor)Strip you down to size,***** as the day that you were born,***** as the day that you were born.(Tremendous guitar work)Take all the trauma, drama, comments,The guilt and doubt and shameThe what if's and if only'sThe shackles and the chainsThe violence and aggresion,The pettiness and scorn,The jealousy and hatred,The tempest and discord,AND GIVE IT UP!Joe Walsh's "Confessor" -- 1985Press [RETURN] to continue
