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 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
The monster you`re feeding, your lack of perception
The things that you do to fulfill 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
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
The monster you`re feeding, your lack of perception
The things that you do to fulfill 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
