REACHING OUT


I know you don't understand
And you don't know what's inside
You don't know who I really am
It's just a picture that you see

I want you to know the truth that lies beyond
The wall placed up in front of me
Could you take the word of only one
Against the image seen by many

Nobody bothered to search me out
Nobody cared for the true me
It took one just to look
And I escaped within myself
But still remains a fading picture of another me

I know my true identity now
I wasn't the first to find it
Just the servant in a clown costume
Never caught without a game to play

Do you see the me painted for you
Or do you even care?
Given the chance would you bother
To find out who I am
Or would you just prefer to keep the joker?

Do you even care?
