Hiding

Hiding, Hiding from the walk of shame

Trying to avoid the path of fate when it’s already molded perfectly for your shape

Filled with sorrow and despair

Running reckless without a care

You yell and scream and shake with fear

Knowing that the end of your road is near

You paint a picture in your mind of the life you so desire

Filled with laughter and fun one you can’t wait to acquire

You try to mold yourself into that perfectly painted picture

It’s all going well until it all becomes a mixture

Of the good and the bad the happy and the sad

Until finally you’re mad and want it all to end

You pray and hope to find an open door

While your heart weeps and aches it’s sore

Little do you know you know you have to go back

To find that something that you lack

The love for yourself and those around you

The ones that make life beautiful profound new

Find that love you truly need

Find it quick and plant the seed

To a beautiful life you see in your mind

Push the back button and click rewind

But you don’t want to go back you don’t want to remember

Because you think your soul you’ll have to surrender

Hiding, Hiding from the walk of shame…

Hiding, Hiding from the walk of shame

Trying to avoid the path of fate when it’s already molded perfectly for your shape

Filled with sorrow and despair

Running reckless without a care

You yell and scream and shake with fear

Knowing that the end of your road is near

You paint a picture in your mind of the life you so desire

Filled with laughter and fun one you can’t wait to acquire

You try to mold yourself into that perfectly painted picture

It’s all going well until it all becomes a mixture

Of the good and the bad the happy and the sad

Until finally you’re mad and want it all to end

You pray and hope to find an open door

While your heart weeps and aches it’s sore

Little do you know you know you have to go back

To find that something that you lack

The love for yourself and those around you

The ones that make life beautiful profound new

Find that love you truly need

Find it quick and plant the seed

To a beautiful life you see in your mind

Push the back button and click rewind

But you don’t want to go back you don’t want to remember

Because you think your soul you’ll have to surrender

Hiding, Hiding from the walk of shame
