Deep Inside

He is bruised and batter and shy He just can't look you in the eye He only wants to cry, nowhere to hide He is full of pain deep inside I shun him no sympathy to give Run away if you want to live Father beats you bloody yet you stay Run away if you want to be saved Your mother cries but so helpless to help Take full body blows from his bloody belt You come to me to be saved I scream just go away, go away Face caked with blood dripped dry Pain you want only to die No one hears you cry I close my eyes and fly Forget those lost youthful years Forget that haunting fear Forget that raw shame Forget yourself you blame Running in the dark into the night Running with all your might Running with him by your side Running from him deep inside The chill teases my sweat The hurt inside I kept Many nights I never slept Dreams bleed me torn to bits Where is the sun to shine the day Where is the sun for sorrows to fade Where is the sun that runs and runs away Into the darkness I fall Through the darkness I crawl Bloody knees earnest pleas Daddy stop your killing me Little boy so many broken bones Little boy empty and alone Taste of fear never leaves your lips Even time won't let you forget Why do you come to me each night Why do you want me to make right The years are gone the beast is dead Why can't he leave your little head I hug you and hear you cry I feel your pain so deep inside Day shines forth the night is gone Dry those tears be strong That little boy still survives That little boy still hides That little boy lives deep inside Deep inside
