deep inside (light)

so deep inside, everyone is an enemy

they send in more dirt to bury my bones

so far away, nobody is there for me

they shatter the glass, now it’s all so exposed



either way, i’ll face disappointment

there’s no right way to open that door

one day, there was a time i could hide from it

but i wouldn’t know what i was hiding for



you’ve buried me deep, now i can’t see the light

maybe i wasn’t fit to function, with my eyes through this mask

i can’t tear away from where you want me to be

just can’t close my eyes from what you want me to see



and even when i’m with you, i’m always alone

isolated from the living, stripped down to the bone

i’m looking in on what i should be, i can’t be for long

i wish i could be living, in a world that hasn’t gone wrong



there’s a light through the darkness, but i can’t quite see the sun

it’s all so dim to me, inside the barrel of a gun

it’s so hard to breathe, when i’m closed in so tight

in this cycle that keeps repeating, nothing’s ever right



because nothing ever changes, it always stays like before

i’ll try to go my own way, but end up back to the door

sometimes wonder how i keep moving, when i’m always standing still

somehow i knew this would happen, do what you will
