Can't Hide From This

By Syn

If you could, for just one moment
Look inside my mind
You'd cry yourself a thousand tears
And be shocked at what you find

You'd find a simple carcass
You'd find a darkened room
You'd find an asylum here
grey and full of gloom

You'd know it was a mistake
letting me inside
You would've known I'd eat your soul
and with it take your pride

I'm sorry that I loved you
I'm sorry that I tried
I'm sorry you just walked away
I'm sorry I can't hide

    ..this strikes deep and sorrowful. You always put so much feeling into your works, it's haunting.
