On The Inside

(album: Within Each Lies The Other - 2021)

I'm burning up on the inside

Can you just forget?
Wipe me off and start again
Was I? Oh God, you made me feel like
Nothing again, nothing again
The windows are caving in
Glass underneath my skin
See what you need
Made us out to be enemies, enemies
While you wallow in your selfish worth

Take all of my time, take all your petty lies
Holding out for a day on the right side
Crawling out of bed, while I'm burning up on the inside
Take me out of line, let my withered soul die
I know what you want and it's burning me up on the inside

Is my mind lying to me?
Am I supposed to feel free?
Do I deserve, is this my worth?
To feel pity under your control

Take all of my time, take all your petty lies
Holding out for a day on the right side
Crawling out of bed, while I'm burning up on the inside

Take all of my time, take all your petty lies
Holding out for a day on the right side
Crawling out of bed, while I'm burning up on the inside
Take me out of line, let my withered soul die
I know what you want and it's burning me up
Take me out of line, let my withered soul die
I know what you want and I won't let you have it

I'm burning up on the inside
I'm burning up on the inside
