Go run away in distress

Try to hide from what's creeping and crawling and stabbing within

Try to deny the turmoil inside

If you fight yourself hard enough you'll never win

Any ounce of serenity or a calm hope at best

(Or a calm hope at best)

Can leave you heaving on the floor

Gasping for breath

(Are you gasping for breath)

To be left on the floor gasping for breath

You're either the person you are

Or the person you're trying

(Trying trying trying to be)

Don't let the outside sway too far

From where you want to be

And at any cruel moment of this

You can ruin the best

As your body is brutally pressed

Against the confines of your tense flesh

And if you close your eyes tight enough

Then none of the bad can get in

And if you close your eyes tight enough

Then none of the light can get in

(The light can't get in the light can't get in)

(Boom)

You scream as the light hits you

It radiates thoughout your whole soul

(Boom)

The pain is clarity

It cleanses and if it still fucking hurts then you still fucking know

That you are still alive

That you are still in control

If you would only take hold

(Boom)

The day with both hands

A death grip

And a good chance to outlive your past

You are living free

You are living free

You're either the person you are

Or the person you're trying

(Trying trying trying to be)

Don't let the outside sway too far

From where you want to be

You're either the person you are

Or the person you're trying trying trying trying to be

(Trying trying trying to be)

Don't let the outside sway too far

From where you want to be
