Hiding
words & music by Ryan Hicks

How can you say that
When you know in your heart that you're lying
How can you judge this
When you don't even know the whole story
Is it the truth that scares you
When reality slaps your face
Your choices just keep digging you deeper
Into a cold and empty place

You've been separated
You've been pushed and pulled away

Innocence learns to lie
You dodge that bullet one more time
And keeping what's real wrapped up in silence
You're hiding in what was
Older but no wiser

Who do you see the mirror
In those eyes that look back at you
How do you sleep through the night
Or do you even get that far
Your book has got some missing pages
Perhaps you ought to know which ones
If you take a good look inside
Can you justify what you have become
