Reality

Staind

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'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? 

So you sedate and drown in vain 
You've got a pill for every day 
A suit and tie to mask the truth 
Its ugly and its 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 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
