[Verse 1] The lights are on, but you're not home You've drifted off, somewhere alone Somewhere that's safe, no questions here A quiet place, where you hide from your fears [Chorus] Sometimes when you're out of rope The way to climb back up is clear The walls you build around yourself I guess they also keep you here Are you afraid of what they think? Whoever they happen to be Or are you hiding from The scars of your own reality? [Verse 2] So you sedate, and drown in vain You've got a pill, for every day A suit and tie, to mask the truth It's ugly head, is starting to show through [Chorus] Sometimes when you're out of rope The way to climb back up's unclear The walls you build around yourself I guess they also keep you here Are you afraid of what they think? Whoever they happen to be Or are you hiding from The scars of your own reality? [Bridge] The monster you're feeding, your lack of perception The things that you do to fulfill your addictions The light at the end of your tunnel is closing What is it that you're so afraid of exposing? You'd give it all up for what's there's for the taking Whatever it takes to keep your hands from shaking The same things you're thinking might make you feel better The same things that probably got you here [Chorus] Sometimes when you're out of rope The way to climb back up's unclear The walls you build around yourself I guess they also keep you here Are you afraid of what they think? Whoever they happen to be Or are you hiding from The scars of your own reality? [Bridge] The monster you're feeding, your lack of perception The things that you do to fulfill your addictions The light at the end of your tunnel is closing What is it that you're so afraid of exposing? You'd give it all up for what's there's for the taking Whatever it takes to keep your hands from shaking The same things you're thinking might make you feel better The same things that probably got you here
