Run away from the turmoil under your skin

Run from what's still creeping and crawling within

Try as hard as you want to deny

That there's something evil inside

You will never escape the built-up stress

That pushes from inside your tense flesh

For every ounce of freedom

For every drop of serenity

There is a pound of doubt

And even more disharmony

And at any cruel moment's notice

You can fuck up even the best

And as the bed swallows you up

Days bleed together without rest

Gutted like a fish

And left to die all curled up

All you want is to see all the blood of the world sucked up

It feels like a punch to the throat

And a vicious boot to the chest

So leave them your petty suicide notes

Crying how you ruined the best

For every ounce of freedom

For every drop of serenity

There is a pound of fear

And even more painful clarity

The pain hits you

As the darkness grabs you

And as the shadows rip through your body

You realize you are alive and ready

To walk away and outlive your past

And live free

Are you living free?

Are you living free?!?

All it takes is a pathetic drop of serenity...
