Joe Walsh The Confessor Lyrics

The Confessor Lyrics

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!
