OBSIDIAN

You've got me wishing in a wishing well, oh well

You've got me kissing in a cheap hotel, hoe tell

You've got me sleeping in a cave so dark, so deep

The silence is so silent that it's so loud so loud that I can't

 

Sleep got no dreams his shadows shake me til I sweat my sheets

So lost but I once was clean

Who am I kidding this cannot be

Cannot be silly me there ain't nothing to see

But what's seeing and believing I can't see the man in front of me

Right in front of me are my own damn lies

And though I fight em I can't hide em

His reflection is a reckoning

 

Who's that man, who's that man

I don't know he just stares and stands

Sucking my soul like a reverse fan

Shaking me whole to the gram by gram

Making me wonder what's down under and what's above in the jumbaling thunder

 

Quit looking at your surroundings

For the answers to your life

Those answers are just questions

The real answer is inside

 

Who's that man, who's that man

Knock knock knocking on my front door

Who's that man, who's that man

I don't want to hear him knocking no more

 

You can lock your door but he comes through the window

Follows like a shadow

Repeats your words like an echo

 

Don't you get it mister man

Won't you leave me alone

Quit following my steeps and peepin

Peepin, you've been creepin in my home

 

I'm smart, you're dumb

I'm strong, you're weak

I'm feel, you're numb

You're the valleys, I'm the peak

I'm fast, you're slow

I'm real, you're fake

I'm alive, you're dead

You're pathetic, I'm great

 

But as I wipe my eyes

The visions get clearer

And I realize that this man

Is the man in the mirror

 

Who's that man, who's that man

Knock, knock, knockin on my front door

Who's that man, who's that man

I don't wanna hear him knockin no more

 

Quit looking at your surroundings

For the answers to your life

Those answers are just questions

The real answer is inside
