Let ‘em make me guilty for taking time to myself
Trying to be everything to everybody else
Take on the load even though it kills my back
Explode at the wrong time when I wasn’t even attacked
Remember everything then selectively forget
Hear only what applies to me but listen with intent
Laugh when it’s not funny and cry too easily
Give advice when nobody ever asked it of me
CHORUS
It’s You – staring at me through my own eyes
Laughing at me through my own lines
Carved into my face like a tree of life
That’s yours and everybody else who came before us
We all try in vain to turn the other way
But there’s nothing I can do
I’m turning into you
Keep on talking and refuse to take the hint
Fall asleep before I finish all my shit
Hide the chip with a cool designer touch
You’d never know I hold on to every sucker punch
REPEAT CHORUS
We grow into beasts when we try to break the mold
And it hurts like hell to admit we’re growing old
We repent and we redeem
Yet every breath creases the perfection we seek
There is a goodness and a light I recognize
I feel your hand as I hold my child tight
Forgive me Mother Father Brother and Sis
I never meant to cause you any pain by this
Hey it’s me staring at you through your own eyes
Laughing at you through your own lines
Carved into your face like a tree of life
That’s yours and everybody else who came before us
We all try in vain to turn the other way
And there’s nothing I can do
I’m turning into you
I’m turning into you… Turning into you
