I shut and locked the front door No way in or out I turned and walked the hallways And pulled the curtains down yeah I knelt and emptied the mouths of every plug around But nothing's sound nothing's sound I'd stay where my last step left me Ignored all my rounds Soon I was seeing visions and cracks along the walls They were upside down I swallow the truth to keep from lying I swallow my face just to keep from biting Yeah, I swallowed my breath, I went deep, I was diving, I was diving Yeah, I surfaced when all of my being was enlightened [Repeat: x4] I'm in hiding It's been about three days now Since I've been above ground i'm no longer overwhelmed and it seems so simple now Yeah, it's funny how things change so much It's all state of mind I swallow the truth to keep from lying I swallow my face just to keep from biting. I, I am, I swallow my breath, I went deep, I was diving, I was diving Yeah, I surfaced when all of my being was enlightened [Repeat x8] Now I'm in hiding
