Escape

Empty twisted promises within a world so dead

Memories of heartache cradle thoughts inside my head

Wounds continue bleeding on forgotten storybooks

Listen to your nightmares and the happiness they took

Can't you see the shadows with the knives inside their hands?

Watching you as they invade your secret wonderland

Silence won't protect you from the thoughts inside your mind

Nobody can save you from the torture on rewind

I can't see the people, but they're always seeing me

Anywhere and everywhere… they never let me be 

Sometimes they stand quietly behind my bedroom door

Sometimes it's the microphones they hide under the floor

Sometimes it's the cameras in the ceilings or the wall

This time it's the photo frames… they'll kill me if they fall.

Everybody tells me that it's all inside my head

All I'll ever know is that I'm better if I'm dead

Maybe it's imagination gone completely wrong

If it's just my own creations, why are they so strong?

Maybe I can fight the tears and other things I dread

But how do I escape the living things inside my head…
