Atreyu - Creature Lyrics

Go
Run away
In distress
Try to hide
From what's creeping and crawling and stabbing within
Try to deny
The turmoil inside
If you fight yourself hard enough you'll never win
Any ounce of serenity
Or a calm hope at best
(Or a calm hope at best)
Can leave you heaving on the floor
Gasping for breath (are you gasping for breath?)
To be left on the floor gasping for breath!

You're either the person you are
Or the person your trying
Trying, trying, trying to be
Don't let the outside sway too far from where
You want to be

And at any cruel moments of this
You can ruin the best
Where's your body is brutally pressed
Against the confines of your tense flesh

And if you close your eyes tight enough
Then none of the bad can get in (none of the bad can get in)
And if you close your eyes tight enough
Then none of the light can get in (none of the light can get in)
The light can get in
The light can get in

Boom!
You scream as the light hits you
It radiates though out your whole soul
Boom!
The pain is clarity
It cleanses
And if it still fucking hurts than you still fucking know
That you are still alive
That you are still in control
If you would only take hold
Boom
The day with both hands
A death grip
And a good chance to outlive your past
Are you living free?
Are you living free?

You're either the person you are
Or the person your trying
Trying, trying, trying to be
Don't let the outside sway too far from where
You want to be
You're either the person you are
Or the person your trying
Trying, trying, trying to be
Don't let the outside sway too far from where
You want to be
