Lyrics

Mosaic


You?re standing with him, but he?s standing above,
Crafting a counterfeit image of love.
You ask ?do you love me?? he rambles off ways,
A shaded charade, this game that he plays.

He cries when you cry, knows that he should,
A tearful mirage-so misunderstood.
Flips on the switch that turns on the tears,
And something approaching emotion appears.

Can?t get inside him, the wall is too thick,
Fears and failures are circled in brick.
When you try to break through the mosaic so deep,
He says, ?put down that chisel, I?m trying to sleep.?

He knows how to speak and speaks only the part
That carefully steers you away from his heart.
Afraid of revealing what he?s kept inside,
Convinced he?s concealing what keeps him alive.

Chorus

You know he hears you outside of the wall
And once in a while he lets a brick fall.
As he patches the hole, you must decide
to dance with a shadow or leave him behind.
