[Verse 1]
I start to search all the dark places that I have found
All the deep creases in my mind that are torn up somehow
I want to keep the pace, I want to figure it out
I've got to do it this way, if I don't everything's lost

[Chorus]
Have you ever really noticed the blanket of shame
From the torment and pain?
That you realize that no one's ever been there
Have you ever looked at the violence you hide
Always running inside
You can't escape, it's always been there

[Verse 2]
I tear a hole inside my head to let the demons go
I cut my flesh to purge the hatred from so long ago
I want to keep the pace, I want to figure it out
I've got to do it this way, if I don't everything's lost

[Chorus]
Have you ever really noticed the blanket of shame
From the torment and pain?
That you realize that no one's ever been there
Have you ever looked at the violence you hide
Always running inside
You can't escape, it's always been there

[Bridge]
Close my eyes I go to sleep (Look at me)
It's always there I start to weep
Close my eyes I go to sleep (I'm all alone)
It's always there I start to weep
Close my eyes I go to sleep (Look at me)
It's always there I start to weep
Close my eyes I go to sleep ([?])
It's always there I start to weep

Close my eyes I go to sleep (Look at me)
It's always there I start to weep
Close my eyes I go to sleep (I'm all alone)
It's always there I start to weep
Close my eyes I go to sleep (Look at me)
It's always there I start to weep
Close my eyes I go to sleep
It's always there I start to weep
[Chorus]
Have you ever really noticed the blanket of shame
From the torment and pain?
That you realize that no one's ever been there
Have you ever looked at the violence you hide
Always running inside
You can't escape, it's always been there
