iNNER fEARS

By worldunknown31

I CANNOT UNLOCK MY INNER FEARS
KEPT THEM LOCKED UP ALL THESE YEARS
I CANNOT LOOK IN THE MIRROR
I DO NOT LIKE THE MAN I SEE
CANNOT LIVE THAT OTHER LIFE
IT’S JUST NOT FOR ME
 
CAN’T LOOK ME STRAIGHT IN THE EYE
AND TELL ME IT’S NOT FOR REAL
CAN NOT STAND BY THE SHADOW
THAT’S BEEN HOLLOW ALL THESE YEARS
I CANNOT UNLOCK THESE INNER FEARS
THEY ARE FAR TOO DEEP
I CANNOT BE THE JUDGE TO FACE ME AND DECIDE
WHO IS THE REAL ME
 
WHAT OTHER WAY CAN I LET IT OUT
AND SAY I MUST LIVE THE TRUTH
WHEN CAN I SAY I DOUBT
AND SAY THAT IT’S NOT TRUE
 
WHERE DO I BELONG
WHY DID I NOT KNOW
WHERE DID I GO WRONG
WHY DID I NOT KNOW
I’VE GOT NOTHING MORE TO COME
I’VE GOT NOTHING MORE TO SHOW
BUT THESE THOUGHTS IN ME HEAD
THEY’RE EATING ME UP INSIDE
DON’T KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO
IS IT LIFE OR SUICIDE
 
I CANNOT UNLOCK MY INNER FEARS
KEPT THEM LOCKED UP ALL THESE YEARS
I CANNOT LOOK IN THE MIRROR
I DO NOT LIKE THE MAN I SEE
CANNOT LIVE THAT OTHER LIFE
IT’S JUST NOT FOR ME
 
CAN’T LOOK ME STRAIGHT IN THE EYE
AND TELL ME IT’S NOT FOR REAL
CAN NOT STAND BY THE SHADOW
THAT’S BEEN HOLLOW ALL THESE YEARS

    That's actually...almost exactly how I feel. You've said almost exactly what I couldn't find the to say. Thank you.
