Creature - Atreyu

Go, run away in distress

Try to hide from what’s 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

You’re either the person you are

Or the person you’re trying, trying, trying, trying to be

Don’t let the outside sway too far

From where you want to be

And at any cruel moments of this

You can ruin the best

When your body is brutally pressed

Against the confines of your tense flesh

And if you close your eyes tight enough

Then none of the bad can get in (none of the bad can get in)

And if you close your eyes tight enough

Then none of the light can get in (none of the light can get in)

The light can’t get in, the light can’t 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 than you still fucking know

That you are still alive, that you are still in control

If you would only take hold

Boom!

The day with both hands

A death grip, and a good chance to outlive your past

(Are you living free, are you living free?)

You’re either the person you are

Or the person you’re trying, trying, trying, trying to be

Don’t let the outside sway too far

From where you want to be

You’re either the person you are

Or the person you’re trying, trying, trying, trying to be

Don’t let the outside sway too far

From where you want to be
