Hiding from Myself

Silent screams and empty rooms

Suffocated but not consumed

Can you hear it? Can you feel it?

It's haunting, it's calling

Petals still fall from those in bloom

Brave face on but not consumed

Can you hear the white noise?

It's deafening, it's taking over

Burn it up! Burn it up!

Fear created passion in me

The burning hatred that I so keep

Bottled it up, bottled it up

Don't you lay this weight on me

Bottled it up, bottled it up

Don't you lay this weight on me

Hiding from myself

The shadows, they're watching over me

Conscious numbing out

But no-one, no-one believes me

(This agony and novocaine)

(Drowning in the mess I made)

(This agony and novocaine)

But I am worth every breathe I take!

I take!

All I ever wanted to see

Was the best version of me

What I got in return was empty soulless worth

Backed into the corner now

Pressure building all around

Can you hear it? Can you feel it?

It's haunting, it's calling

Fears move on and life grows old

Something I have always loathed

Can you feel it?

The darkness, it's taking over

Hiding from myself

The shadows, they're watching over me

Conscious numbing out

But no-one, no-one believes me

Hiding from myself

The shadows, they're watching over me

Conscious numbing out

But no-one, no-one believes me

We all dream of an everlasting paradise

Where we feel safe in our own heads

(Hiding from myself)

(The shadows, they're watching over me)

(Conscious numbing out)

(But no-one, no-one believes me)

Hiding from myself

The shadows, they're watching over me

Conscious numbing out

But no-one, no-one believes me

Hiding from myself

The shadows, they're watching over me

Conscious numbing out

But no-one, no-one believes me
