Hiding

I continually hide behind this music

The lyrics slice right through me

And I no longer feel abused

Somewhere inside is my rotted self-esteem



Somewhere deep inside all these feelings are hiding

Terrified to ever be exposed

But ever so desiring for someone

Ever so desiring to be close



Desires to bring light to this darkened soul

Yet it feels like there is no where to go

To shed a sliver of light

That could change this darkened infested life



Everything seems to be exposed

Being no longer protected

By building walls around these emotions

And without hesitation I release

Everything I know

Everything that's within me



I quickly try to retreat

but it's too late

I've scared them off, now I've got cold feet

I try to change what's happening

But I think I've been defeated
