"All Along" lyrics

Give me something just to realize
When the darkness hides truth
Give me shelter and protection from the things that I can't get through
Give me a space for me to occupy when I'm just passing through
Could be the mason or the mastermind
The builder of a brand new

Some will treat you like a stranger
Some will treat you like a brother's lost
And others see it as a threat
And others see it as a challenge when you stand off
And the animal can see inside
As he conquers pride
And all the instants that you camouflage
That you forgot about deep inside

And you standing close
Next to you
Manifest about a word and a bright idea
Right in front of your palm
I guess you knew it all along
Oh oh, oh ohohohoh
Oh oh, oh ohohohoh

You can sweep away the dust all the dirt and the cobwebs too
You try removing all these things from your living room floor
You try to clear yourself a path for your conscience to walk right through
The clearness never leaves your mind 'til your body lays black and blue

And you standing close
Next to you
Hands on fire
The depths of you
The depths of you
The depths of you
The depths of you, oh oh

And you standing close
Next to you
Hands on fire
The depths of you
As if you knew it all along

Oh oh, oh ohohohoh
I guess you knew it all along
Oh oh, oh ohohohoh
Oh oh, oh ohohohoh
I guess you knew it all along
Oh oh, oh ohohohoh
