Sad But True -- Metallica

Hey  I'm your life  I'm the one who takes you there
Hey  I'm your life  I'm the one who cares  They  They betray
I'm your only true friend now   They  They'll betray  I'm forever there

(**) I'm your dream, make you real  I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel  Sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray  I'm your eyes while you're weary
I'm your pain while you repay  You know it's sad but true  Sad but true

You  You're my mask  You're my cover, my shelter
You  You're my mask  You're the one who's blamed
Do my work  Do my dirty work, scapegoat  Do my deeds  For you're the one who's shamed

(**)  

I'm your dream  I'm your eyes  I'm your pain  I'm your dream
I'm your eyes  I'm your pain  You know it's sad but true
Hate  I'm your hate   I'm your hate when you want love
Pay  Pay the price  Pay for nothing's fair Hey  I'm your life  I'm the one who
took you there   Hey  I'm your life  And I no longer care

I'm your dream, make you real  I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel  Sad but true
I'm your truth, telling lies  I'm your reasoned alibis
I'm inside, open your eyes  I'm you   Sad but true                                (sing365)   

This song is about blind faith in religion and the lengths people will go to to practice their faiths. The line, "I'm inside, open your eyes" means that god only exists in people's heads.
