[bad word] 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 [bad word] moments of this you [bad word] the best
Where's your body is [bad word] pressed against the confines of your tense flesh
And if you close your eyes tight enough then none of the bad can get in (none of the bad can get in)
And if you close your eyes tight enough then none of the light can get in (none of the light can get in)
The lights can't get in
The lights can't get in

Boom!
You scream as the light hits you
It radiates through out your whole soul
Boom!
The pain is clarity, it cleanses
And if it still [bad word] hurts then you still [bad word] know
That you are still alive, that you are still in control
If you would only take hold
Boom!
The day with both hands
death grip
And a good chance to outlive your past
You are living free
Where you will be 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
