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

Chorus
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

Chorus (altered)
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?

Bridge
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

Chorus (altered)
