Staind - Reality lyrics

Album: 14 Shades of Grey (2003)

The lights are on but you are not home
You have drifted off somewhere alone
Somewhere that is safe
No questions here
A quiet place
Where you hide from your fears

Chorus:
Sometimes when you are 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 & drown in vain
You have got a pill for every day
A suit & tie to mask the truth
Its ugly & its starting to show through

Chorus:
Sometimes when you are 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?

Bridge:
The monster you are 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 are so afraid of exposing?
You would give it all up for what´s there for the taking
Whatever it takes to keep your hands from shaking
The same things you are thinking might make you feel better
The same things that probably got you here

Chorus:
Sometimes when you are 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?

Bridge:
The monster you are 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 are so afraid of exposing?
You would give it all up for what´s there for the taking
Whatever it takes to keep your hands from shaking
The same things you are thinking might make you feel better
The same things that probably got you here
