Lyrics: 
 
When you start to take a look within 
Do you feel at ease with what you see 
Do you think you can have peace of mind 
And have self-belief or be satisfied 
 
Do you think you even like yourself 
Or really think you could be someone else 
Is there something that you'd rather be 
Never thought you'd be, had the chance to see 
 
All my life I've run away 
All my life I've tried to hide away 
 
Feel the paranoia creeping in 
Like a cancer eating at your skin 
Do you feel you've lost your self esteem 
And your self-respect, what can you expect 
 
All my life I've run away 
All my life I've tried to hide away 
 
All my life...I've run away 
Let my faith...slip away 
All my life..I've run astray 
Allowed my faith...to drift away 
 
Are you scared to look inside your mind 
Are you worried just at what you'll find 
Do you really want to face the truth 
Does it matter now, what have you got to lose 
 
Try release the anger from within 
Forgive yourself a few immortal sins 
Do you really care what people think 
Are you strong enough to release the guilt 
 
All my life I've run away 
All my life I've tried to hide away 
 
All my life...I've run away 
Let my faith...slip away 
All my life..I've run astray 
Allowed my faith...to drift away
