It takes you in and tears it all out 

It tears it all out

But you never know

It takes your life, turns you into someone

And you know it won't be long

Someone you'd never know



Don't claim that you know me

When you very well

That I have seen through it all

And don't claim that you know why

When you know everything

When you've seen things for what they were

Yeah



Inside you feel it taking over

It's taking over

When you feel it most

It draws you in and tears it away

It tears it away

Then it leaves you lost



Don't claim that you know me

When you very well

That I have seen through it all

And don't claim that you know why

When you know everything

When you've seen things for what they were

For what they were

Oh, oh

For what they were



Remember the days when our fears had long since died

And now how they age us

They've taken all our lives, lives



It takes you in and tears it all out

It tears it all out

But you never know

It takes your life, turns you into someone

And you know it won't be long

Someone you'd never know



Don't claim that you know me

When you very well

That I have seen through it all

And don't claim that you know why

When you know everything

When you've seen things for what they are



Sore again is this old wound

It overshadows everything

And I have seen through it all



Ah, ah

Yeah

All the things I've seen
