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'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 everyday A suit and tie to mask the truth Its 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 you will 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'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?
