I continually hide behind this music
The lyrics slice right through me
And I no longer feel abused
Somewhere inside is my rotted self-esteem
Somewhere deep inside all these feelings are hiding
Terrified to ever be exposed
But ever so desiring for someone
Ever so desiring to be close
Desires to bring light to this darkened soul
Yet it feels like there is no where to go
To shed a sliver of light
That could change this darkened infested life
Everything seems to be exposed
Being no longer protected
By building walls around these emotions
And without hesitation I release
Everything I know
Everything that's within me
I quickly try to retreat
but it's too late
I've scared them off, now I've got cold feet
I try to change what's happening
But I think I've been defeated
