Are you ready?!
There's a place inside my mind, a place I like to hide
You don't know the chances. What if I should die?!
A place inside my brain, another kind of pain
You don't know the chances. I'm so blind!

Another place I find to escape the pain inside
You don't know the chances. What if I should die?!
A place inside my brain, another kind of pain
You don't know the chances. I'm so blind!

Deeper and deeper and deeper
As I journey to live a life that seems to be a lost reality
That I could never find a way to reach my inner self esteem is low
How deep can I go in the ground that I lay
If I don't find a way to sift through the grey that clouds my mind
This time I look to see what's between the lines

I can see, I can see, I'm going blind
I'm blind!
