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
