lyrics

Hiding From Myself
(Minister)

Everyday complaining, I’m forever contemplating
Still waiting for my break in the day
Look into my eyes, I philosophize the why’s
Empty lies through the sign of the times
Help me find it here, Am I lost into the near?
When I cry, I cry oceans of tears
Almost every day there is sadness in my way
I remind me of somebody else

Start to question how
My future is now
Repent or to rejoice
I have to make a choice

I’m hiding from myself
I’m hiding from myself
I’m hiding from myself
Hiding, hiding, I’m hiding from myself

Fog inside my mind I don’t want to look inside
I can’t see me beyond all my dreams
Deafened by the lies, all the candy and the lies
Are shattered by my own surprise
Help me in the now, there hear lots of quiet sounds
Is that laughing from somebody new?
Lots of empty ways, lots of empty darker days
But it sure beats remaining alone

Seek to understand
Part of the plan
When fear is disallowed
Somewhere, somehow

I’m hiding from myself
I’m hiding from myself
I’m hiding from myself
Hiding, hiding, I’m hiding from myself

I’m hiding from myself
I’m hiding from myself
I’m hiding from myself
Hiding, hiding, I’m hiding from myself
