Staind - Reality lyrics
[Staind - Reality lyrics]
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's 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
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's 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
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's 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
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's 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
