I've stopped running
All the while i was running
Running from myself and running from life
Today life finally got up with me
Life found me and showed me the mirror
Which reflected my true face
Or i guess it always had
But i did not like to look back
Yet all the time the image was clear
It just did not fit with what i had in mind
But after all these years
I recognize the source of the struggle
Was that I was fighting myself
Fighting who I could become
To uphold an illusory house of cards
But now the door has swung open
The cards are all blown away
Leaving me naked
Naked as a guy
Which turns out to be
Just what i like
Running from myself and running from life
Today life finally got up with me
Life found me and showed me the mirror
Which reflected my true face
Or i guess it always had
But i did not like to look back
Yet all the time the image was clear
It just did not fit with what i had in mind
But after all these years
I recognize the source of the struggle
Was that I was fighting myself
Fighting who I could become
To uphold an illusory house of cards
But now the door has swung open
The cards are all blown away
Leaving me naked
Naked as a guy
Which turns out to be
Just what i like
