Verse 1

Silence
is all around me
when I first try
to open my eyes

Years before
so I think
I fell asleep
trying to die

Standing up
and takin just a look around me
I can see
only dark reality

Realizing
what has happened
I feel despair
and incredible fear

Chorus

what is it like?
to see behind the door
we try to close
in front of ourselves

we're not too far
from a second way of living
call it a dream
I know it's true

and if you ask
"how can I get there?"
I must tell you what
you don't want to hear

that the step
you have to go to reach this world
means to end
your existence

Verse 2

Escape
was my goal
Escape to a place
far away from here

I failed
I woke up
in the old, scary
mystery

Why?
Is there no way?
To get out
of this world...

Prisoned...
alone...
freedom carefully kept
far away from me

Chorus
