I'm searching for the cure
An antidote to heal me
Oh desperately I try to chase
Away the lines that haunt my face
But the truth wins every time

The lights are coming on
All the glitz is gone
I'm staring at the view from the inside

So this is the real me
I don't like what I see
Staring at the view from the inside

So welcome to my world
The ultimate illusion
I've hidden in words and melodies
Now they're coming back on me
Yeah, the hand they bite is mine

The lights are coming on
All glitz is gone
I'm staring at the view from the inside

So this is the real me
I don't like what I see
Staring at the view from the inside

Trying hard to just get by
But blessedly I'm failing

The lights are clearly on
All the glitz is gone
I'm staring at the view from the inside

So this is the real me
Do you like what you see
Staring at the view from the inside
From the inside
