Hiding in the Attic
The lights go out
The air stands still
The breathing strained
Against your will
Silence so loud
Inside it waits
Won't be long now
You take the bait
You fight the fear
The alarm inside is sounding
Head underwater
I don't wanna see
And I don't wanna know
So damn constantly on my own
Still I run away
Fear another day
Deep down beneath
It claws at me
Till I can't breathe
Hiding in the attic
Greed, hate, self-doubt
Always holding me down
Breaking me down
Crushing me down
Shame overwhelms
The person I'm supposed to be
But I've been down so long
Feeling good would feel so wrong
So I keep on keeping me down
In perpetuity
Brick by brick
I seal it away
But it always comes
Crumbling down
Tumbling down, down
And the mirror cracks
And I see my true face
Splintered and broken
In a million motherfucking ways
I don't wanna see
And I don't wanna know
So damn constantly on my own
And still I run away
Fear another day
Deep down beneath
It claws at me
Till I can't breathe
Hiding in the attic
I don't wanna see
And I don't wanna know
So damn constantly on my own
And still I run away
Fear another day
Deep down beneath
It cripples me
Until I bleed
Hiding in the attic, yeah
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh, hiding in the attic
The air stands still
The breathing strained
Against your will
Silence so loud
Inside it waits
Won't be long now
You take the bait
You fight the fear
The alarm inside is sounding
Head underwater
I don't wanna see
And I don't wanna know
So damn constantly on my own
Still I run away
Fear another day
Deep down beneath
It claws at me
Till I can't breathe
Hiding in the attic
Greed, hate, self-doubt
Always holding me down
Breaking me down
Crushing me down
Shame overwhelms
The person I'm supposed to be
But I've been down so long
Feeling good would feel so wrong
So I keep on keeping me down
In perpetuity
Brick by brick
I seal it away
But it always comes
Crumbling down
Tumbling down, down
And the mirror cracks
And I see my true face
Splintered and broken
In a million motherfucking ways
I don't wanna see
And I don't wanna know
So damn constantly on my own
And still I run away
Fear another day
Deep down beneath
It claws at me
Till I can't breathe
Hiding in the attic
I don't wanna see
And I don't wanna know
So damn constantly on my own
And still I run away
Fear another day
Deep down beneath
It cripples me
Until I bleed
Hiding in the attic, yeah
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh, hiding in the attic
