Lyrics
Looking at my own reflection
It’s the first I think I see
The truth of what’s become of me
I am the rush of pain remembered
And the hurt’s become my friend
Beloved curse, my heaven sent
Foolish pride says: ”I don’t care”
Turn a blind eye, well aware
That truth is more than just a dare, more than just a…
Surrender to the pain
Your resistance is your chain
Your wide-open cell
(Yeah, it’s keeping you from yourself)
So surrender to the pain
Become symmetry and grace
In heaven and in hell
Here I go seeking direction
It’s the first I start to see
The image I could be
‘Stead of painful apprehension
Of tomorrow’s evanescence
I am turning to the present
Foolish pride says: ”I don’t care”
Turn a blind eye, well aware
Truth is more than just a dare, more than just a…
So surrender to the pain
Your resistance is your chain
Your wide-open cell
(Yeah, it’s keeping you from yourself)
Surrender to the pain
Become symmetry and grace
In heaven and in hell
It’s all here and now
Like a subtle undertow
Of symmetry and grace
It’s all here and now
Like a warm afterglow
The symmetry and grace
