Lyrics
We blame others for the problems
We tend to attribute blame to others for problems we've caused ourselves.
that we create for ourselves
Out of fear, we avoid introspection, preferring not to examine our own actions.
Too scared to look inward for the fear
We're afraid to confront our inner selves because we fear finding similar traits in others.
Of seeing what we see in them
The fear of recognizing our own flaws in others prevents us from self-reflection.
Anger
Feelings of anger arise.
Hurt
We experience emotional pain.
The hidden guilt manifests
Unacknowledged guilt takes shape within us.
Neurotic symptoms appear as we hide from the truth
Psychological issues surface when we avoid facing the truth.
A pattern forms and becomes rule
A habitual pattern is established and becomes a governing principle in our lives.
Our lives become a host to the parasite
Our lives become a dwelling place for negative influences caused by our refusal to accept responsibility.
Of actions caused by our denial of responsibility
Our actions are driven by a denial of our responsibilities.
Tonight's nightmare is tomorrow's reality
What torments us tonight will become our reality tomorrow.
You look for betterness in everything you see
We seek improvement externally but sabotage it with our actions.
But poison all hopes of what might be
We destroy potential positive outcomes due to our own actions.
Rewards of compulsion that only satisfy
We pursue compulsions that give fleeting satisfaction.
The mental cancer that infects
Mental disturbances affect those who deny facing their own truths.
Those who deny
Those who refuse self-reflection become victims of their own mental afflictions.
What the self reflects
They avoid acknowledging their own flaws.
Look inside and find the strength
We're encouraged to search within ourselves for the courage to confront reality.
To face reality without fear
To face reality without fear is a sign of strength.
Look to yourself and you will see
Looking inward reveals the truth about oneself.
The evidence is clear
The proof of our issues is evident upon introspection.
