Blow It All Away

(album: When Pure Is Defiled - 2003)

Take a long hard look at me, tell me what you think you see.
Another one with a broken soul, taken down and looking cold.
Tried to blow it all away, sift through the ashes another day,
my face is falling, my hands are tied, get up again just to be denied.
See the scars they're on my face, feels like I'm falling in disgrace.
I feel betrayed with a kiss, I never thought it would come to this.
Take a bite of my heart, feel it eating inside.
Coming straight outta hell.
Take you along for the ride.
Pure but dirty, rich but broke, sane but insane I breath but choke.
I'm too smart for your therapy, I know what
you'll say, before you say it to me.
Take a bite of my heart.
Feel it eating inside.
Coming straight outta hell.
Take you along for the ride.
In the outside, I am inside.
I am no one, tried to be one.
Strong but weak I run but wait.
Alive but dead I love but hate.
I'm numb but hurting, I'm calm but manic, I try to keep my cool, yeah but then I panic.
Take a bite of my heart.
Feel it eating inside.
Coming straight outta hell.
Take you along for the ride.
In the outside, I am inside.
I am no one, tried to be one.
