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 fucking hurts    Then you still fucking 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
