From the beginning, I've always seen this life for what it is.
A dark hole, a prison for my mind.
Escaping all the pressure, I consume and degrade my body time after time.
Pop a pill, again and again I fade away.
My mind transcends to a better place.
Consume, destroy,
Leave this reality.
I cannot live the way I have been anymore.
Crush it up, take a hit, snort a line, and leave this place behind.
Leave this place behind.
This pain is all I know.
Depression and anxiety fill my body like a poison.

All I know is what the world has made me see.
Broken minds and a neglected cry for help.
Turning to destructive habits.
Passing this down to the next generation.
Day after day, wasting away,
My hunger is rising.
The next thrill, the next fill,
I must escape.
My vices take control of all my actions.
No other way to break from all the madness.
I am weak and broken.
I let my problems get the best of me.
Ruined my life, tore apart what meant the most to me.
Let it fall away.
I'm so sorry.
I never meant for it to go this far.
My simple escape has taken control of me.
I never meant for it to go this far.
My simple escape has taken control of me.
Somebody help me break away.
I cannot do this on my own.
Needing more and more to satisfy my needs.
It's never enough no I'll never be free.
Cover my eyes, cover my eyes.
All I've done is cover my eyes.
All I've done is run away from what is real.
Cover my eyes, cover my eyes.

I'm not alone in the struggle I call home.
Across the world, I am not alone.
Open my eyes and see the world around.
We are not alone.
And I will fly away from the storm.
And I will survive with faith in us all.
And I will fly away from the storm.
And I will survive with faith in us all.
I will not let these addictions control my life anymore.
We will overcome the struggles inside us all.
So just remember this, we are not alone.
We will break through.
Open up your eyes and see.
No more running away.
We will change the world.
Open up your eyes and see.
No more running away.
We will change the world.
I will not let my past control me anymore
The substances I have run to, I will ignore
I will be reborn.
I will be reborn.
Take another look at me.
I will prove you wrong.
I will never be brought down.
