Lyrics


The Child Inside

There is darkness and death in your eyes

What have you got buried inside

The shallow grave in your soul

The ghosts there have taken control


You really should have dug a little deeper there

Body parts are starting to appear and scare

The child inside away


Each tear that flows down your face

Trickles then picks up the pace

And turns to a river inside

A river that will not subside


I can hear that dreadful overflowing sound

And watching from afar I see a child is drowned

The child inside your heart


I can see you drifting away

Heading for the light

I can see you drifting away

Every night


Why were you always inside

On days when the weather was fine

And while we were running around

You were nowhere to be found


You know you should have taken all your dolls to bed

But you were made to play games with your soul instead

The child inside you died
