The Child Inside

(álbum: We're Not Coming Back - 2021)

You see me like a monster, everyday you pass and stare
The cross I bear, it pulls me under
Tragedy that scars and stains and marks my face
I'm just another tale, an urban myth, some legend used to scare the kids
A ghost that roams the halls at night, how long 'til you see the child inside?

The child inside, the child inside
The, the child

You treat me like an outcast, all you see are the years gone by that were unkind
And now this frayed mask that's keeping me inside and chained scares you away
But in the blackest pit, behind the eyes, there I still am, here trapped tonight
A ghost that roams the halls at night, hoping that you'll see the child inside

The child inside, the child inside
The, the child, the child

Here I stay locked away, deep inside every night
Here I stay locked away, deep inside, oh, I'm the child inside
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, the child inside, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, the child inside, the child inside

The child inside, the child inside
The child inside
