She said, "If I could erase all reason,
I'd leave a thin red line"
Her head was filled with nothing
So horribly trite
She said, "If I could define sin
It'd begin with lies
And end in golden ribbons
Of something bright."
And I'm down on my knees
Looking for something to need
Hoping for someone to free me from my disguise
Free me from my disguise
She was never one to judge
But she held her head so high
The only lighthouse in the harbor
Or a dark cloud in the sky
And when it rained, it all just ran together
Flowing down her sides
She was down on her knees
Looking for something to need
Digging for answers in what she'd left behind
All she'd left behind
I said, to define sin
Only ends in lies
The human mind is only part
Of the human design
And I'm down on my knees
Looking for something to need
Hoping for someone to free me from my mind
Free me from my mind
Free me from my mind
Free me from my mind
