stronger than ten tied with blood put together 
cooler than shades on a statue of ice 
more prestigious than words bound in leather 
always untouched by the ignorant lies 

I've finally seen 
myself 
through the eyes of others 

we chase our dreams, we sacrifice 
we know that's what makes us better 
though more of me means less of you 
I have no doubt this is something 
that I have to do 

faster than bending the end to beginning 
sharper than wit that is parched beyond dry 
more courageous than honest in sinning 
always untouched by the ignorant lies 

I've seen myself through the eyes of the others 
I can accept that they won't understand 
I've seen myself through the eyes of the others 
I've shed it all to be able to stand
