Creature

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 in (bad can get in) And if you close your eyes tight enough Then none of the light can get in (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 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
