Go, run away in distress
Try to hide from what's 
Creeping and crawling and stabbing within! 
Try to deny the turmoil inside 
If you fight yourself hard enough 
You'll never win any ounce of serenity 
Or a calm hope at best 
Or a calm hope at best 
Can leave you heaving on the floor 
Gasping for breath, 
Are you gasping for breath? 
To be left on the floor gasping for breath 
You're either the person you are 
Or the person you're trying, trying, trying, trying to be 
Don't let the outside sway too far 
From where you want to be 
And at any cruel moments notice 
You can ruin the best 
As your body is brutally pressed 
Against the confines of your tense flesh 
And if you close your eyes tight enough 
Then none of the bad can get, none of the bad can get in 
And if you close your eyes tight enough 
Then none of the light can get, none of the light can get in 
The light can't get in, the light can't get in! 
Boom! You scream as the light hits you 
It radiates throughout your whole soul 
Boom! The pain is clarity, it cleanses 
And if it still ****ing hurts 
Then you still ****ing know, 
That you are still alive, 
That you are still in control, if you would only take hold 
Boom! The day with both hands, a death grip 
And a good chance to outlive your past 
Are you living free, are you living free? 
You're either the person you are 
Or the person you're trying, trying, trying, trying to be 
Don't let the outside sway too far 
From where you want to be 
You're either the person you are 
Or the person you're trying, trying, trying, trying to be 
Don't let the outside sway too far 
From where you want to be
