• The Child Inside


  • There is darkness and death in your eyes

    What have you got buried inside?

    The shallow grave in your soul

    The ghosts there have taken control


    You really should have dug a little deeper there

    Body parts are starting to appear and scare the child inside

    away


    Each tear that flows down your face

    Trickles then picks up the pace

    And turns to a river inside

    A river that will not subside


    I can hear that dreadful overflowing sound

    And watching from afar I see a child is drowned

    The child inside your heart


    I can see you drifting away

    Heading for the light

    I can see you drifting away

    Every night


    Why were you always inside?

    On days when the weather was fine

    And while we were running around

    You were nowhere to be found


    You know you should have taken all your dolls to bed

    But you were made to play games with your soul instead

    The child inside you died
