Lyrics

Can’t Hide Anymore
By Kristopher Daniel Pinnell

[Intro]
I am drowning
In my toxic shame
It’s calling me forward
I Just stay the same
I can’t take the pain
All wrapped up in
My Own Toxic Shame
No more baulking

[Verse 1]
I’ve spent my life
Hiding
Behind bottles
And lies
Drowning the pain
Masking my cries
But the truth keeps
Knocking

[Chorus]
I’ve used every crutch
Just to escape
From the man in the mirror
Choices I make
But there’s no more
Running
No shadows to chase
Just me and
My heart
In this sacred place.

[Verse 2]
I can’t hide
Anymore
Not from the scars
Not from the truth
Hiding behind the bars
Anonymity whispers
Stay in the dark
But the light inside me
Is finding its spark

[Chorus]
I’ve used every crutch
Just to escape
From the man in the mirror
Choices I make
But there’s no more
Running
No shadows to chase
Just me and
My heart
In this sacred place

[Verse 3]
This honesty’s
Heavy
It cuts like
A knife
It’s the only way
I’ll reclaim my life
Step by step
I face what’s inside
There is no place
To hide

[Chorus]
I’ve used every crutch
Just to escape
From the man in the mirror
Choices I make
But there’s no more
Running
No shadows to chase
Just me and
My heart
In this sacred place.

[Refrain]
I’ve lived
In the shadows
I’m stepping through
The light of my truth
It’s what makes me true
I can’t hide anymore
not from my heart
This is my story
my brand-new start
