If you look at your reflection in the bottom of a well
What you see is only on the surface
If you try to see the meaning hidden underneath
The measure of the depth can be deceiving
The bottom has a rocky reputation

You can feel it in the distance
The deeper down you stare
From up above it's hard to see
But you know it when 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 keep
In 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 Confessor
You can't tell a lie
You cannot tell a lie
(to the Confessor)
Strip you down to size
Naked as the day that you were born
Naked as the day that you were born

Take all the trauma drama comments
The guilt and doubt and shame
The what if's and if only's
The shackles and the chains
The violence and aggresion
The pettiness and scorn
The jealousy and hatred
The tempest and discord
And give it up!
