fractured view of life 
fictions starts to decay 
there's no escape from self 
there's no escape from the pain 
facade walls pulled down
image world forced out 
return of the repressed 
there's no escape from self 
there's no escaping 

what's locked on the inside 
and there's [bad word] 
from that which i cannot hide 

reality opposed 
returns to victimize 
mirror images only serve to terrorize 

a world [bad word] 
from fairy tales 
a foolish answer
to what's real 
awake to the [bad word] 
or live a lie the bane 
of my own existence 
is trapped on the inside 
you cause the pain 
that i suffer 
and you cast the blame 
on the other 
so many of our problems 
are your own creation 
and you'd see if only you'd 
examine your actions 
there's no escaping 
what's locked on the inside 
so i embrace and accept myself with pride 
you made me this way 
you forced me to this 
i am what i am 
i won't be father like son
