im screaming into my pillow
dealing with my frustration inside
my eyes are bleeding with tears
my mind is a mess of numbed unaffection

im running into a black hole
a place where i can never turn back
judgement clouds my entire spirit
im dying in my own condemnation

chorus
ive been escaping, ive been running
ive been running to nowhere, to nowhere important
im crawling, crawling into the hole i came from
this nothingness i feel is nothing real
this hate i feel is nothing real
this life i lead is nothing real
take me away from my own deception

my head burns heavy with lethargy
the bruises on my hands tell its own story
the crumbling fear i awake in myself
can you see the steel behind my eyes?

escaping - snap back to reality
