[I. Within these walls]
|
|
Alone... afraid...
|
In the dark of the corner he will try to hide his shame...
|
Where it shows to no one
|
Nothing wrong in being scared, it will all fall into place
|
According to his dad
|
"But son, you just can't tell anyone..."
|
And there, deep in the night
|
He gets to kiss the floor once again
|
And though he fears his father's eyes
|
That is nothing compared to
|
The cold touch of his hands...
|
Of his hands...
|
His cold touch...
|
|
"Wipe those silly tears from your eyes
|
That show when you look at me
|
Can't you see that I love you?
|
I always have and I always will"
|
You can never turn away from
|
The hand that rocked your cradle
|
I've been there through all you have seen
|
You would be nothing without me"
|
And there, deep in the night
|
He gets to kiss the floor once again
|
And though he fears his father's eyes
|
That is nothing compared to
|
The cold touch of his hands...
|
Of his hands...
|
His cold touch...
|
His cold touch...
|
|
[II. A silent outside]
|
|
You and your staring eyes...
|
How come you don't welcome me anymore?
|
I'm still the one you embraced... but now you're disgraced?
|
A silent outside I once called my home...
|
|
Blinded by the shame he turns against the world outside
|
He just can't seem to understand that they are all just helping hands
|
|
While the world was still asleep, he had to pay on his hands and knees
|
And when the sun came to chase the night away
|
He would just lie there in pain and pray
|
|
He's lost in the void within
|
He's walking in a circle of nothing
|
All alone against a silent inside
|
|
You and your judging eyes...
|
How come I have changed while still being the same?
|
The child you embraced... today a disgrace?
|
A silent outside I once called my friends...
|
|
Blinded by the shame he turns against the world outside
|
He just can't seem to understand that they are all just helping hands
|
He walks away now, all alone to find his way
|
He knows the answers he seeks will not come easily...
|
|
A lonely child, against the world outside
|
He will walk on the path of the abused...
|
With a smile... to hide...
