And now you realize that life is such a bother and a bore What you're avoiding can you see it now what are you waiting for? And every day is just like any other Though you're older than before And who you are you're still not sure And if they ask, then will you reply An innocent man, living life in his own simple way?
You live in silence mounting stairs by candlelight You left behind a world of pain but still you live you life in chains And here's your reward for what you brought into this world Innocence lost forever
Are you secure behind the trim facade of what you have become? Safe in the knowledge that you know precisely what you're hiding from? Motionless within the course of history's design In plain sight you are concealed Still one day all will be revealed And when they ask, how will you reply? An innocent man, living life in his own simple way?
