The gaze of my demons is too painful to bear,
For too long I’ve ran from what lurks out there.
Finally I lift my eyes, but there is nowhere to hide,
I know I'll fail, but I'll fail with my head held high.
Overcome, I’m overcome by the world that is not mine
(not mine)
I am trapped, trapped much deeper than all their graves
(all their graves)
The way to eternity is shorter than they preach,
All the faults of the past will not be redeemed.
Overcome, I’m overcome by the world that is not mine
(not mine)
I am trapped, trapped much deeper than all their graves
(all their graves)
