What would happen
If I were to turn inside out?
Would you want to see?
Would you want to know?
What these wounds of mine are?
Would you truly like that?
What would you say?
What would you think?
What would you feel
If I were to reveal my true self?
Would I destroy you?
What price would you pay
When I unmasked my soul
With its welts and its wounds
With its chasms and voids?
What would you like to know
What cruelties and burdens
I bring upon you!
With what reasoning could I ever do that?
While it hurts you some, that I keep my distance
Well it’s for you
While you may not see
With all I do
I swear it is because of you
