Inside

I was wandering through what I thought I'd destroyed
I was wondering where would I lose all these joys
Untruth's bruise upon my soul
Losing lies that made me whole

There was once such a time when I felt I was right
And a time when the darkness was bleeding daylight
Reason could not lie to me
Reason only made me see

Now I have realized only struggle has worth
And the darkness was light on the path of my search
Darkness, it has made me see
Lies have lost reality
Words have fallen
Like rain to the ground
Lies are calling
In emptiness crowned
Lull my false reality
Crown the soullessness in me
Guide the truths to set me free
Find what I can never be
Deep inside my empty creed
Deep inside the hate in me
Deep inside
I'm bleeding deep inside my soul

I've been slitting the throat of the passionate life
I've been drowning the sorrow that gave me my knife
I've been warding the doorway to hell with a grin
And been centering all of my life on within
I'm bleeding deep inside my soul
Deep inside my empty creed
And even deeper, still unwhole
I've found that I can never be
More than false reality
