Reality Lyrics - 14 Shades Of Grey - Staind

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 

Sometimes when you're out of rope 

The way to climb back up is clear 

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 

It's ugly head 

Is starting to show through 

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? 

The monster you're feeding 

Your lack of perception 

The things that you do 

To fulfill 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 there 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 

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? 

The monster you're feeding 

Your lack of perception 

The things that you do 

To fulfill your addictions 

(Your own reality) 

The light at the end 

Of your tunnel is closing 

What is it that you're so 

Afraid of exposing? 

(Your own reality) 

You'd give it all up for 

What's there for the taking 

Whatever it takes to 

Keep your hands from shaking 

(Your own reality) 

The same things you're thinking 

Might make you feel better 

The same things that probably 

Got you here
