Deep Inside

A lone understanding of my own mind
Confuses me every time
Things meant to be left alone
Are touched upon and over blown
Times never have been more tough
But I can never get enough

Tempting things try to drag me in
To deceive me and commit sin
But I can find the better day
Under all that you say
Is this all it'll ever be?
Good thing that I am me

Sometimes you can feel what's true
Deep inside of you
I know the way it drives me mad
To have to know good from bad
But if I'm destined to be like this
Then it's not a life to miss
