The Child Inside

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
There is darkness and death in your eyesWhat have you got buried insideThe shallow grave in your soulThe ghosts there have taken controlYou really should have dug a little deeper thereBody parts are starting to appear and scarethe child inside awayEach tear that flows down your faceTrickles then picks up the paceAnd turns to a river insideA river that will not subsideI can hear that dreadful overflowing soundWatching from afar I see a child is drownedThe child inside your heartI can see you drifting awayHeading for the lightI can see you drifting awayEvery nightWhy were you always insideOn days when the weather was fineAnd while we were running aroundyou were nowhere to be foundYou know you should have taken all your dolls to bedBut you were made to play games with your soul insteadThe child inside you died
