fractured view of life
fictions starts to decay
there's no escape from self
there's no escape from the pain
facade walls pulled down
image world forced out
return of the repressed
there's no escape from self
there's no escaping
what's locked on the inside
and there's no running
from that which i cannot hide
reality opposed
returns to victimize
mirror images only serve to terrorize
a world constructed
from fairy tales
a foolish answer
to what's real
awake to the truth
or live a lie the bane
of my own existence
is trapped on the inside
you cause the pain
that i suffer
and you cast the blame
on the other
so many of our problems
are your own creation
and you'd see if only you'd
examine your actions
there's no escaping
what's locked on the inside
so i embrace and accept myself with pride
you made me this way
you forced me to this
i am what i am
i won't be father like son
