[Verse]
I’m stuck in all that I’m used to
And I shouldn’t stay but I choose to
I fail my heart every time I give in
I’m a slave to the memories
And I play it safe so I never leave
Oh, it’s day after day, I just dance with the pain [Pre-Chorus] They say I’m more than the scars on my back
But all of my demons keep holding me back
Right into that open door
Somewhere that I’ve been before [Chorus] Can’t seem to get no rest
Trying to escape myself
I guess I must confess
I’m comfortable in this mess
Better the ache I know
Scared of the fate I don’t
Just like a hand to hold
At least I’m not alone [Verse] Pride lays the rules that I choose to abide
Latching on tempting me to the high
Though it’s flawed by design I give in
And I shouldn’t stay but I choose to
I fail my heart every time I give in
I’m a slave to the memories
And I play it safe so I never leave
Oh, it’s day after day, I just dance with the pain [Pre-Chorus] They say I’m more than the scars on my back
But all of my demons keep holding me back
Right into that open door
Somewhere that I’ve been before [Chorus] Can’t seem to get no rest
Trying to escape myself
I guess I must confess
I’m comfortable in this mess
Better the ache I know
Scared of the fate I don’t
Just like a hand to hold
At least I’m not alone [Verse] Pride lays the rules that I choose to abide
Latching on tempting me to the high
Though it’s flawed by design I give in
[Chorus]
War in my veins, can’t get away, self-medicate
Oh, Lord
Thoughts in my brain are never sane
I’m never in control
Right into that open door
Somewhere that I been before [Bridge] Can’t seem to get no peace of mind
All these feelings never fade
And the pain won’t go away
And it haunts me that nobody’s gonna save me [Pre-Chorus] They say I’m more than the scars on my back
But all of my demons keep holding me back
Right into that open door
Somewhere that I’ve been before [Chorus] Can’t seem to get no rest
Trying to escape myself
I guess I must confess
Comfortable in this mess
Better the ache I know
I’m scared of the fate I don’t
Just like a hand to hold
At least I’m not alone
Oh, Lord
Thoughts in my brain are never sane
I’m never in control
Right into that open door
Somewhere that I been before [Bridge] Can’t seem to get no peace of mind
All these feelings never fade
And the pain won’t go away
And it haunts me that nobody’s gonna save me [Pre-Chorus] They say I’m more than the scars on my back
But all of my demons keep holding me back
Right into that open door
Somewhere that I’ve been before [Chorus] Can’t seem to get no rest
Trying to escape myself
I guess I must confess
Comfortable in this mess
Better the ache I know
I’m scared of the fate I don’t
Just like a hand to hold
At least I’m not alone
