"Opaque" lyrics - THRICE

THRICE
"Opaque"

When you can want something you hate,
And lie in perfect honesty.
From every angle things are crystal clear.
When you doubt things of which you're sure,
Some thing seems just beyond your head.
You wonder if you're living second rate.

Is my mind too open,
Is my heart still beating
Do my eyes betray a hint of loneliness,
Or an ambiguity?
I only want to see the light.

When every word makes perfect sense
In every single line you read,
But every single line seems to conflict
And the perspectives that I see;
A Picasso reality.
I'm seeing truth through sheets of opaque glass

Is my mind too open,
Is my heart still beating
Do my eyes betray a hint of loneliness,
Or an ambiguity?
I only want to see the light

Where does reason stop, and romance begin?
I feel the ghosts hitchhiking on the wind,
And since when did following your heart become a sin?
I only want to see the light
