I start to search all the dark places that I have found
All the deep creases in my mind that are torn up somehow


I want to keep the pace
I want to figure it out
I've got to do it this way

If I don't, everything stops

Have you ever really noticed the blanket of shame?

From the torment and pain?
As you realize that no one's ever been there
Have you ever looked at the violence you hide?

All the drowning inside?
You can't escape, it's always been there


I tear a hole inside my head to let the demons go
I cut my flesh to purge the hatred from so long ago


I want to keep the pace
I want to figure it out
I've got to do it this way

If I don't, everything stops

Have you ever really noticed the blanket of shame?

From the torment and pain?
As you realize that no one's ever been there
Have you ever looked at the violence you hide?

All the drowning inside?
You can't escape, it's always been there


Close my eyes, I go to sleep
It's always there, I start to weep
(Repeated 8 times)


Have you ever really noticed the blanket of shame?
From the torment and pain?

As you realize that no one's ever been there
Have you ever looked at the violence you hide?
All the drowning inside?
