Whether locked up or on top of the world
I felt the same sense of unrest
Pursuing numbers, the approval of others
Outward illusions of success
Just an illusion
An illusion masking restlessness
All ending in a downward spiral, rock bottom is all relative
Some people lose their homes, others lose their heart
The sad truth is, I lost them both
'Cause I perilously chose to compromise my soul
I could not see past all the distraction
Until everything to hide behind
Until everything to hide behind was gone
Now that everything is gone, I'm free
Free to see without distraction
There's nowhere left to hide
As I face what is inside, what is inside
Now changing like the tide, devoid of peace, but now finding
What brings serenity and what can be centering
It's not the things it used to be
Because they have been taken and cannot be retrieved
Now that everything to hide behind
Until everything to hide behind was gone
Now that everything is gone, I'm free
Free to see without distraction
There's nowhere left to hide
As I face what is inside, what is inside
What is left
When you take it all away
A battle between desolation and sorrow
Leaving behind destruction or strength
Destruction or strength
Destruction or strength
Destruction or strength
Whether locked up or on top of the world
I felt the same sense of unrest, but now it's gone
Now that everything is gone, I'm free
Free to see without distraction
There is nowhere left to hide
As I face what is inside, what is inside
Whether locked up or on top of the world
I felt the same sense of unrest, But now it's gone
Just an illusion
An illusion masking restlessness
