Atreyu - Creature LYRICS

Go, run away in distress
try to hide from whats
creeping and crawling and stabbing within
try to deny the turmoil inside
if you fight yourself hard enough
you'll never win any ounce of serenity
or a calm hope at best (or a calm hope at best)
can leave you heaving on the floor
gasping for breath, are you gasping for breath
to be left on the floor gasping for breath

Chorus:
your either the person you are
or the person your trying to be
dont let the outside sway too far
from where you want to be

and at any cruel moments notice
you can ruin the best
as your body is brutally pressed
against the confines of your tense flesh
and if you close your eyes tight enough (none of the bad can get in)
and if you close your eyes tight enough (none of the light can get in)
the light cant get in (the light cant get in)

BOOM. you scream as the light hits you
it radiates throughout your whole soul
BOOM. the pain is clarity, it cleanses
and if it still fucking hurts
then you still fucking know, that you are still alive,
that you are still in control, if only take hold
BOOM. the day with both hands, a death grip
and a good chance to outlive your past
are you living free?

Chorus (x2)
