Everything You're Not

Maybe one day you'll realize
You've been so caught up in your own lies
You've forgotten it's all make-believe
Swallowed whole by all that you can see
 
Maybe one day, you'll stem the tide
But till then, you'll live from the outside
Looking in, you'll see the light of day
It's so close, and yet so far away
 
All you know, is all that you've been told
And everything you dream, is everywhere you've been
And all you believe in is all you can see
And everything you think about is everything you're not
 
Maybe one day you'll come to find
Everything that's got you running blind's
The same light that does ever shine
Playin' hide and seek till the end of time
 
Maybe one day you'll realize
You've been living in a world of lies
But, the only reason for deceit
Is simply that you do not see it
 
All you know, is all that you've been shown
And everything you're shown's, of one light ever shining on
And all you believe is all you perceive
And all you perceive is all you believe in
 
Yeah, all you know, is all that you've been told
And everything you dream, is everywhere you've ever been
And all you believe in is all you can see
And everything you think about is everything you're not
 
Yeah, everything you think about is everything you're not
Everything you think about is everything you're not
Yeah, everything you think about is everything you're not
