Everyone around me is telling me to not look back They say I'm acting like I'm under some imaginary attack But how could they know where my mind will go It's not ‘cause we're friends I want to visit it all again I need to feel it once more so I can break it up and smash it down I have to rise above the nightmare and leave it where it can't be found And if I can't move on I'll be stuck inside my private hell It's always banging on my door, it's always waiting there to ring my bell Mark my boundaries making sure I check the locks I'm trying to play the part of me that you like even when I'm not ‘Cause how could you know where my mind will go It's not ‘cause we're friends I want to visit it all again I need to feel it once more so I can break it up and smash it down I have to rise above the nightmare and leave it where it can't be found And if I can't move on I'll be stuck inside my private hell It's always banging on my door, it's always waiting there to ring my bell It has hold over me it's my history calling And I can't get away from the fear that I'm falling down I watch myself trying to fight and let go But it's here in my spirit like a vulture I know I understand that there's nowhere to hide It's just me and my demons trying to stay alive Stay alive I need to feel it once more so I can break it up and smash it down I have to rise above the nightmare and leave it where it can't be found And if I can't move on I'll be stuck inside my private hell It's always banging on my door, it's always waiting there to ring my bell I need to feel it once more so I can break it up and smash it down I have to rise above the nightmare and leave it where it can't be found And if I can't move on I'll be stuck inside my private hell It's always banging on my door, it's always waiting there to ring my bell
