Ramblin On

Rambling On...and on..and on..., Somewhere down South, United States
Finding the humor in this world, particularly adept at laughing at the absurdities in myself...learning to live in the moment

Scars of Your Own Reality

Going to try NOT to write a book here tonight, although everyone who knows me even a little knows I am word focused (just a lil bit).
I was riding along in my automobile...listening to a song I have heard many,many times
by choice
and I want you guys to hear the lyrics!
**NOTE: LYRICS DON'T REFLECT MY LIFE!
although aspects of it are familiar**
If it was legal, I would post either the song itself or a link to listen to it!
Staind : "Reality"

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'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?
so you sedate
and drown in vain
you've got a pill for every day
a suit and tie
to mask the truth
its ugly head is starthing to show through [chorus]
[bridge]
the monster you're feeding,
your lack of perception
the things that you do
to fullfill 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 theirs 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]
