The Confessor lyrics

Artist  : Joe Walsh 
Song : The Confessor



 Send "The Confessor" Ringtone to your Cell 

 If you look at your reflection in the bottom of a
well,



What you see is only on the
surface.



When you try to see the
meaning, hidden underneath,



The measure
of the depth can be deceiving.



The
bottom has a rocky
reputation







You can feel it in
the distance the deeper down you
stare.



From up above it's hard to see




but you know when you're
there.



On the bottom words are
shallow.



The surface talk is
cheap.



You can only judge the distance
by the company you keep



In the eyes of
the confessor.







In the eyes of
the confessor,



There's no place you can
hide.



You can't hide from the eyes (of
the confessor)



Don't you even
try.



In the eyes of the
confessor



You can't tell a
lie,



You cannot tell a lie (to the
confessor)



Strip you down to
size,



Naked as the day that you were
born,



Naked as the day that you were
born.







Take all the trauma,
drama, comments,



The guilt and doubt and
shame



The what if's and if
only's



The shackles and the
chains



The violence and
aggresion,



The pettiness and
scorn,



The jealousy and
hatred,



The tempest and
discord,



And give it up!
