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 breath 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
