Broken reality there's no means of escape 
Broken reality lookin' to leave this mind-state 
But the more that I leaave the harder it is to come 
Back 
Now I'm livin' out these lies that I call my trap 
And I call it that 'cause I didn't do this intentionally 
What I now call my trap I used to call my fantasy 
And why do I fantasize in order to leave the reality 
Of not being able to relate personally or socially 
Sometimes I wonder what it would feel like to be 
Respected 
But until then I'll dream about bein' accepted 
I wonder what it would feel like to be respected 

[Chorus] 
All wrong no right no one no sun no light this life 
This fight I'll hide inside no matter where you go you 
Can't escape what's inside 

man somebody get me out of this place 
Of lonliness hopelessness depression and disgrace 
At this pace I'm on the verge of self-destruction 
With nothin' to go on but my self instruction 
So what then does that leave me 
I try to communicate with the world, but none of you 
Out there could perceive me 
So instead of words I began to express through action 
So anger n' rage became my mere satisfaction hate 
Fills my being I'm seeing no means of release 
So I escape into my fantasy where I live in peace 
Here I can be anybody I want to here I can be anybody 
I choose to 
Here in this place I feel good there's no restriction 
This place is so good that it's become my addiction 

I say I'm not lost but why am I searchin 
I say pain don't fade me but then again why am I 
Hurtin' 
I say I won't show emotion but yet 
I can't hide these eyes that have been stained by 
Tears 
I say I can't be held back but yet I've been in the 
Same place for years 
I say I wanna feel free but somethin' keeps me bound 
I say I wanna go higher but my feet haven't even left 
The ground 
Man I told y'all I didn't care but then again why is 
My heart heavy 
I told the world to bring it on but deep down I knew I 
Wasn't ready 
I said I couldn't be deceived meanwhile I'm walking 
Into the same old traps 
I said I couldn't be broke as I watched my world 
Collapse 
As I watch my world collapse 
Watch my world collapse 

[Chorus] 

No matter where you go you can't escape what's inside 
No matter where you go you can't escape what's inside 
No matter where you go you can't escape what's inside 
No matter where I go
