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
