lyrics

I walk outside and the light stings my eyes
My brain wanders and my body cries
The heat conforms to me as I move through the air
As other motionless people stroll by without a care

Reality is an unbearable treat
For the person who seeks out the ultimate feat
Confronting my existence in this lonely domain
It's enough to make every man go insane

I hide in the dark to escape my fate
I hide in the dark to escape my life
I hide in the dark to escape myself
I hide because the light hurts

I walk inside where the light does not reach
The dark and still attracts me as a leech
It's effortless to be in such static surroundings
And I can only hear myself resounding

Some people think they can escape the light
They brazenly put on the mask of what they think is right
But I can see through their waxen shell
And I take comfort to see that they are lost as well.
