People never see, the burden I carry in my heart.
People never see, that I'm hurting inside.
People never see, the pain in my eyes.
No, they'll never see, just how hard I try.

To be

Free-
From the darkness held within.
To be unlocked from this cage of pain,
I know I'll be trapped back in again.
I can't get these nightmares out of my head.
It's killing me now, soon I'll be dead.
The fear controlling,
Mind is soaring,
Thoughts overwhelming,
I am screaming.
I know they'll never see,
The inside of me.

People never see, the dark circles under my eyes.
People never see, the scars I've tried so hard to hide.
People never see, the burns I cover up with lies.
No, they'll never see, just how hard I try.

To be

Free-
From the darkness held within.
To be unlocked from this cage of pain,
I know I'll be trapped back in again.
I can't get these nightmares out of my head.
It's killing me now, soon I'll be dead.
The fear controlling,
Mind is soaring,
Thoughts overwhelming,
I am screaming.
I know they'll never see,
The inside of me.

People never see, the dark thoughts in my mind.
People never see, the tear stains on my eyes.
People never see, how broken I am inside.
No, they'll never see, just how hard I try.

To be

Free-
From the darkness held within.
To be unlocked from this cage of pain,
I know I'll be trapped back in again.
I can't get these nightmares out of my head.
It's killing me now, soon I'll be dead.
The fear controlling,
Mind is soaring,
Thoughts overwhelming,
I am screaming.
I know they'll never see,
The inside of me.

The inside of me-
It's soul consuming,
Heart devastating,
Mind draining
Body aching,
Strength taking,
Love breaking,
Oh, I know they'll never see!
The inside of me...

*whispers*
The inside of me.
