I wonder if you can see
|
I wonder if you can tell
|
I wonder if you see through the mask I wear so well
|
I'll never let you know what's going on inside me
|
My shame locks me down
|
|
All the things I wanted tell you
|
Are all the things I never will
|
Every time you reached out to me
|
All I did was push you away
|
|
I can't unchain the beast that screams inside me
|
I hate it, it's what I am
|
|
It makes me sick to be so mean
|
What I've been and what I've seen
|
From top to bottom, I am obscene
|
It stands in my place
|
It spits in my face
|
Shame
|
|
You smile I smile back
|
You ask me how I am I say I'm fine
|
I don't know why I'm so torn up inside my mind
|
The darkness swallows me whole
|
|
Don't go too deep, don't ask me why
|
Don't try to know me, don't make me lie
|
I wish I didn't know the things I know so well
|
I try to change but it's what I am
|
