When we are soaring high
We are no where near the divine
With our accumulation of mass privileges
We’re closer at our lowest
Learn to love your rags and not riches
Those imperfect stitches
Naked scars, scarred naked,
heart on your sleeve
relieved of external attainments
With others I’m a statement
But alone I’m a question
Open to suggestions until the spotlights on
Self sabotage where did I go wrong
Seeking validity
In a mirage of ghosts
And I don’t know if it shows but
I don’t wanna be here so my eyes are closed

When the lights go up
I don't think I told you
I don't think I told you
That I feel out of place
Pull me underground
Don't know if you notice
Sometimes I close my eyes
And dream I'm somewhere else

Anywhere away from here
Anywhere away from here
Anywhere away from here

Glorious glass skyscrapers and morgue like interiors
They welcomed us in but we still felt inferior
In your world of perfection
Life took its toll and became uninteresting
I am not investing in it
When she asked who are my biggest enemies
I paused in frustration
I said probably my ignorance and limitations
But it wasn’t that blatant
Bright lights, I am not alright
In a fight with anxiety grab the knife
I killed the man in the mirror now I’m serving life
And I can close my eyes
But there’s a voice inside that I battle with pride
Is it the judge or the jury I can’t decide

When the lights go up
I don't think I told you
I don't think I told you
That I feel out of place
Pull me underground
Don't know if you notice
Sometimes I close my eyes
And dream I'm somewhere else

Anywhere away from here
Anywhere away from here
Anywhere away from here

Oh, when I close my eyes
Oh, when I close my eyes
I wish I could disappear

When the lights go up
I don't think I told you
I don't think I told you
That I feel out of place
Pull me underground
Don't know if you notice
Sometimes I close my eyes
And dream I'm somewhere else

Anywhere away from here
Anywhere away from here
Anywhere away from here
