I used to know where I stood and why.
I was, to me, understood.
Now I can't tell between a truth or lie.
And I don't know if I should.

I used to take a stand,
To finger point and reprimand
Now everything isn't as before.
I had a better way, but that was in another day.

And who am I to question who I am?

I used to live for a single way.
I held my breath all alone.
Sat on the bomb behind the barricade.
Now I am dead in my throne.

I was the answer man, the voice of reason,
Understand that everything isn't as before.
I'm moving deeper now, its quiet here,
But still somehow I never know just who am I to be.

I used to take a stand
To finger point and reprimand,
Now everything isn't as before.
I need to pull away, to reinvent another way
To come alive in who I am to be.
