The Pain Inside Me
The pain inside me
I don't know how to face it
I want it all to turn black
So I can't feel anymore
Feelings only bring me to the brink
Of a lost and lonely death
Nobody knows how black my soul is
I'm a devil masquerading as man
Inside I'm as ugly as sin
A truth so hard to face
Sometimes I wonder if I even know myself
These scars adorn my soul
And I etch them into my flesh
Just to make sure I still feel
Because nothing is as real
As the pain I feel inside
I used to fear death
But now I welcome the cold embrace
If only so I feel nothing
They say anguish is temporary
But it's all I've known for 10 years
So I can't feel anymore
I want it all to turn black
I don't know how to face it
The pain inside me
