Staind

[[da...]]

The lights are on

But you're not home

You've drifted off

Somewhere alone

Somewhere that's safe

No questions here

A quiet place

Where you hide from your fears

 

Sometimes when you're out of rope

The way to climb back up is clear

The walls you build around yourself

I guess they also keep you here

Are you afraid of what they think?

Whoever they happen to be

Or are you hiding from the scars of

Your own reality?

 

So you sedate

And drown in vain

You've got a pill

For every day

A suit and tie

To mask the truth

It's ugly head

Is starting to show through

 

Sometimes when you're out of rope

The way to climb back up's unclear

The walls you build around yourself

I guess they also keep you here

Are you afraid of what they think?

Whoever they happen to be

Or are you hiding from the scars of

Your own reality?

 

The monster you're feeding

Your lack of perception

The things that you do

To fulfill your addictions

The light at the end

Of your tunnel is closing

What is it that you're so

Afraid of exposing?

You'd give it all up for

What's there for the taking

Whatever it takes to

Keep your hands from shaking

The same things you're thinking

Might make you feel better

The same things that probably

Got you here
