A million piercing eyes make you feel alive

yet your skin can’t hide that your dead inside

shallow, broken & worthless to me

I look far beyond what you want me to see

Who left me out to die?

in an existence buried alive

I remember a time when I dreamed

I recall the hope in my eyes

Afraid of what you might find?

if you took a moment to look inside

hate, loathing & self rejection

behind those eyes it’s a growing infection

Who left me on the outside?

where did we get lost along the way

I remember a time when it seemed

that all your wounds were self inflicted

it's seething / it's breeding

it's restricted / it's self inflicted

Who left me on the outside?

where did we get lost along the way

I remember a time when it seemed

that all your wounds were self inflicted
