If You Could See

Ripping and tearing the mask I've been wearing
Is starting to fall away...

Something locked, a thing so black,
Released as rage, agony and pain,
Please remove this thing, just take it back,
My skin is burning, in acid rain.

Black and cold, I run to hide
Alone in chains, paralyzed by thought
Please walk this way, I am dying inside
My eyes are scalded, soul is caught.

If you could see what I see on the inside of me
You'd run away and lose yourself, away from me.

Confusion control, you see me still
Shadows are light, gives away my disguise
Psyche is locked, I have so many pills
Drink them down, I only visualize.

Courage lost, to fight this thirst
I need this crutch, to help me stand
The swelling depravity, begins to burst
Lock it away, for the good of all man.

If you could see what I see on the inside of me
You'd run away and lose yourself, away from me.

Ripped down and torn off, you see what I am meant to be
It's all fallen off now, I'm ugly now you see
Disguises my soul despises, the essence of what is in me
Bared and wide open, the reality of me.

If you could see what I see on the inside of me
You'd run away and lose yourself, away from me.
