I've seen myself in the mirror And it looks the same as always But the feeling deep down under Shows that the real me is far away I've lived in the same skin forever And it feels the same as always But the look of it asunder Shows that the real me is far away I've breathed in the same way as always And it's always been suffocating But to outsiders it seems normal Nothing but brooding too long on twilight But in my soul I feel untamed And in my skin I feel maimed In my breath I feel strangled My everything yearning for freedom Freedom from this, far away from this

Far away
I've seen myself in the mirror And it looks the same as always But the feeling deep down under Shows that the real me is far away I've lived in the same skin forever And it feels the same as always But the look of it asunder Shows that the real me is far away I've breathed in the same way as always And it's always been suffocating But to outsiders it seems normal Nothing but brooding too long on twilight But in my soul I feel untamed And in my skin I feel maimed In my breath I feel strangled My everything yearning for freedom Freedom from this, far away from this
