Often, I feel like I'm part of the parade I'm standing on my float, remember to smile, remember to wave There must be something I can't see I'm blinded by my 'mediaocracy' I've fallen off the pace, my passions gone, it's in my face And if you can't be true to yourself, then you're a general waste I feel what others feel too much I know But I take responsibility for what I reap is what I've sown There must be something I can't see I'm blinded by my 'mediaocracy' I've fallen off the pace, my passions gone, without a trace And if you can't be true to yourself, then you're a general waste A million relations, the love and frustrations The rat on the wheel, that's grinding on so endlessly The millions of people, the church and the steeple The raping and lies, that's kept from the people The Gods and the war, the rich and the poor The priest in his robe, but by night he's a whore I'm lost in the light, as I try to not fight With the endless pursuit, of what's wrong and what's right And you, could never know, the highs I've reached Or the darkness I have roamed You can't, walk in my shoes, been in my head Felt my pain or suffered my abuse But what, if there was a way That I could wipe those tears that stain your face And make them go away? Then I'd stand, with my head held high Because you love me as I am and I'm the apple of your eye Of your eye, of your eye, of your eye I'd be the apple of your eye Your eye, your eye I'd be the apple of your eye Your eye, your eye I'd be the apple of your eye Your eye, your eye I'd be the apple of your eye Your eye, your eye I'd be the apple of your eye
