Reality

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

Sometimes when you're out of rope

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
(Your own reality)
The light at the end
Of your tunnel is closing
What is it that you're so
Afraid of exposing?
(Your own reality)
You'd give it all up for
What's there for the taking
Whatever it takes to
