I hide from myself
If I dont think I won't breathe
I won't die
Why are you hiding?
A simple question
Thousands of answer appear
From my "Family"
From myself
From my fear
From my work or school
From my friends
From the world
My answer is;
I'm not hiding
What are you talking about

I can't face the people who I love
I can't even face myself
They ask me again:
Why are you hiding?
Who said I was hiding huh?
Does it look like I'm hiding?
Is it visible
I think to myself
Oh if only
I wasn't hiding
I sneak around in plain sight
I'm the shadow always overlooked
They don't pay attention at all
Well you got your answer
I'm hiding from facing the world like an adult
I'm hiding from myself
I'm hiding from my family
I'm hiding from my thoughts
I'm hiding from the person who asked why I'm hiding
Have you noticed that I'm not talking anymore
I barely watch television with you
I'm looking down at a small electronic device
Hoping to disappear into it
All because you made feel like crap
Like I'm a price of gum under your show
"Why aren't you doing your chore?"
Is almost like
"Why are you hiding from me?"
I'm hiding from everything
And everyone
Can't you tell
I'm living in hell?

Lies all the lies
Sleeping in one cave
Then they slither out
To poison more peoples minds
All at once
Which is why I hide
All the pain
Pain of love
Pain of life
Pain of family and friends
It's the reason I hide

You can notice the shadows dancing around
Just like a flame stuck in a jar
It
Burns
With
Fire
This is why I hide.
