I start to search
all the dark places
that I have found
All the deep creases
in my mind that
are torn up somehow
I want to keep the pace
I want to figure it out
I've got to do it this way
If I don't everything's lost
Have you ever really noticed
the blanket of shame
from the torment and pain
That you realise that
no one's ever been there
Have you ever looked at
the violence you hide
always running inside
You can't escape
it's always been there
I tear a hole inside my head
to let the demons go
I cut my flesh to purge
the hatred from so long ago
I want to keep the pace
I want to figure it out
I've got to do it this way
If I don't everything's lost
Have you ever really noticed
the blanket of shame
from the torment and pain
That you realise that
no one's ever been there
Have you ever looked at
the violence you hide
always running inside
You can't escape
it's always been there
Close my eyes
I go to sleep
It's always there
I start to weep
Close my eyes
I go to sleep
It's always there
I start to weep
Close my eyes
I go to sleep
It's always there
I start to weep
Close my eyes
I go to sleep
It's always there
I start to weep
Close my eyes
I go to sleep
It's always there
I start to weep
Close my eyes
I go to sleep
It's always there
I start to weep
Close my eyes
I go to sleep
It's always there
I start to weep
Close my eyes
I go to sleep
It's always there
I start to weep
Have you ever really noticed
the blanket of shame
from the torment and pain
That you realise that
no one's ever been there
Have you ever looked at
the violence you hide
always running inside
You can't escape
it's always been there
