See the animal in his cage that you built,
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye,
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?

See the safety of the life you have built,
Everything where it belongs.
Feel the hollowness inside your heart,
And it's all right where it belongs.

What if everything around you,
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know,
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection,
Is that all you want to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks,
Would you find yourself, .find yourself afraid to see?

What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods all the living and the dead
And you really oughta know.

But you can live in this illusion,
You can choose to believe.
Keep on looking but you can't find the words,
While you hiding in the trees.

What if all the world around you,
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you used to know,
Is an elaborate dream?

And if you look at your reflection,
Is it all you want to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks,
Would you find yourself...find yourself afraid to see?
