Confusion sets in and is holding me tight

This silence is as cold as this winter night

I'm not looking for answers, just picking a fight

Not pulling my punches this time.

Delusion walks up and sits down for a while

Says "son you'll make it through this if you just wave and smile,

You can fool the whole world for a while,

All that you'll lose is your mind".

And so help me, I'm gonna find clarity

I've been chasing her down on my knees

She's always running,

Slipping through my hands like a dream

Leaves me like a book with no theme

I'll be waiting for you to come back to me,

Clarity.

I'm walking the streets past the old promenade

I smell whiskey and cigarettes, identity fraud

People on the corner all trying to play god

Over all the butterflies

I feel disconnected from the rest of the world

I see an old woman with hair white as a pearl

I see thousands of people but I don't see my girl

I need her to open my eyes.

And so help me, I'm gonna find clarity

Been chasing her down on my knees

She's always running,

Slipping through my hands like a dream

Leaves me like a book with no theme

I'll be waiting for you to come back to me,

Clarity.

As I drive in my car, I'm between here and there

Just my life, I'm so well-aware

This freeway's as empty as the open air

I'm waiting for the sun

My mind is at home but both eyes on the road

My shoulders are carrying a heavy load

I wish someone would tell me which was I should go

'cause all the signs bleed into one.

And so help me, I'm gonna find clarity

I've been chasing her down on my knees

She's always running,

Slipping through my hands like a dream

She's a song that I can never sing

I'll be waiting for you to come back to me,

Clarity.
