Dead Inside
Dead inside Growing up in a home with little love and a mother who distanced herself and always felt she had to push me away. No hugs or kisses or tucked in at night...….just shut up or go outside and play. Then the awkwardness of getting nubs for breast and being watched by step dad number three. Wondering what...

Dead Inside
It's a slow decay So slow at first I don't notice The rot The smell The maggots Little worms feasting on the flesh of all that used to be good inside me. It's all words Words like bullets Words like a sharp knife They create wounds and invite all the crawling chewing things inside Devour all the joy Devour all the hope Devour all the life Leaving...

Dead Inside
She is always insecure And a little dead inside Sometimes she builds confidence But is a little dead inside And when the confidence boils over She's still a little dead inside She goes in for the kill Though a little dead inside And when that thing she killed, kills her She falls dead inside She melts away into her corner It's okay She was always dead inside...

Dead Inside
Fallen on my knees on the inside, Smiling while standing tall on the outside, No one can see me through all this my imperfection, I'm trying to be ready to find and receive my redemption, Shifting inside my body's walls, I can feel my skin and the pain inside me crawl, A ghost from my past that will never yield, Ive no...

Dead Inside
Cold, Numb, Rage of unbelief, Empty inside, Who wouldn't have seen, Blinded for whats to come, So much rage to handle, Just for one, Blood red color, No other color belongs, Don't matter who cares, It's you who has to pull through, Moving forward, Another day has come, It's da ja voo, And everyone seems to see through you, It doesn't matter anymore, Life goes on, One way to be, Is dead on the...

Dead Inside
Humans aren't perfect, some zombies inside.. Some hearts always breaking, though smiling they've tried... Their scars are all endless, they're searching in vain, To turn back to "normal", and find love again....

Dead Inside
I can feel the maggots crawling inside and out of my organs, Listen closely; put your ear to my navel The whispers you hear is not of food churning But of my insides slowly corroding away by the power of mold and creepy-crawlies Constantly I stitch my skin anew My lip is now forever askew. My heart barley beats, lungs hardly...

I Am Dead Inside My Sorrow
I see the fire. I am the flames. I am hurting. Within the inside. Next to which rests with the dead. I do not linger. Even to point one finger. I swallowed my pain. I am the nail in the cross. I take. I break. For yours and heavens sake. I carry my burdens. You will never see me cry. My tears are not forsale. Not today and...

Am I Dead Inside
Am I dead inside I have this void I think I've died Before I felt That’s when I cried Now I can't feel I know, I've tried The hurting is gone But the hole is still here Once I was in pain Now I don’t care Once I cried Now not even a tear Hardened as steel The only way I could make it This fear of being empty Can't...

Dead Inside
Broken pieces of my heart, Lay shattered on the floor. I wanted to hate you for what you did; But I still love you, just as before. You ask why I can't forgive you, And I look at all the little pieces. Wondering why you would ask such a question, As my heart beat ceases. Dead inside, Because of what you did. I turn cold...

Dead Inside
Verse one: Walking corpses through downtown streets. The dead always seem to drag their feet. Hide in shadows of city lights. Stumble through cornfields late at night. Consuming potions in every form. To numb the hurt from the day before. Hide in taverns under neon lights. Stumble through alleys late at night. Chorus: We are all dead inside. Hollow shells filled with flies. No need to speak a lie. We are all dead...

Dead Inside
I've lived my life lonely and scared Filled with pain and anger While kids ran to their parents I was left uncared To all who think i'm happy and bright I say you think wrong Because my heart is dead as the night So I don't belong I've taken blades and razors Just to free the pain But when it's about gone It comes flying back...

The Dead Inside
I can’t caress these new dimensions My shifting face is imbued with lost pain And my hope is too deceiving The things I love are thrown away by this state Onwards hereafter What I feel will still swallow my mind And the love I will imagine Will still be broken down here, inside Everything is in a shadow And what I give is coated...

Dead Inside
This time I really think I’ve lost my mind It’s getting harder now to freely try to find The heart that died and washed me up in here The pain that breeds and begs me not to fear My hold on life will slip at every turn If I smile it’s only when it burns The rain arrives precisely when I...
