You know who you truly are when you've been what you are not
The things that you remember are locked inside what you've forgot
What you like to feel is defined by the things that you don't
What you're willing to do is hidden behind the things you won't
What's truly right is realized after it's done wrong
And weakness is defined by the ways that you are strong
Good and bad can exist, only if they're entwined
People are judged by the ways that they're unkind
True wisdom is known before it is learned
Real pain is always recognized before it starts to burn
Sincere tears start to flow before sadness can begin
You only know where you are if you know where you've been
You and your actions are defined by things you do
You think you understand it all, but you haven't got a clue
