I've been looking for conclusions beyond a shadow of a doubt
I've been looking for a way in I've been looking to get out
It doesn't matter what you look for, it's how it is perceived
And what's whispered to the mind is only what is seen
Paint me a pretty picture and there's no fear
Give me nothing but crystals and its all clear
Won't you please just tell me what I want to hear?
I've been pulling out my weapons so I can sleep at night
I'm in search of new direction for my peace of mind
Deception does protect and silence shelter from the storm
Silence misdirects me and I feel safe at home
Wrap it up in ribbons that'll be dear
Make it far away when it is so near
Won't you please just tell me what I want to hear?
I've been looking for conclusions beyond a shadow of a doubt
I've been looking for a way in I've been looking to get out
It doesn't matter what you look for (matter what you look for)
It's how it is perceived (how it is perceived)
And what's whispered to the mind (whispered to the mind)
Is only what is seen
Wrap it up in ribbons that'll be dear
Make it far away when it is so near
Won't you please just tell me what I want to hear?
