From the Inside

Folder: 
8-Old Stuff

We see the outside and we try to get in.

It's none of my business where the hell you have been.

You make up reasons, then you tell all your lies.

A perfect angel in the devil's disguise.

I see you hiding and you try to come through.

Tears are falling from those deep eyes of blue.

Look out for number one, even though that's not me.

then our mind fills in what our eyes do not see.



We see the outside and want the inside.

But it's the inside of ourselves

that really hurt us and make us both cry.

So I want to see you from the inside.



How can you tell the truth to everyone else?

When you come up with lies just to tell yourself.

Someday it might happen with some crazy machine.

But for right now it seems reality is the dream.

There are so many things that none of us know.

So put on your makeup, because it's on with the show.

Who knows why, so we're all down on our knees.

And ignorance is spreading like a disease.

I know this world really makes you stop and wonder.

If things will be better when we're six feet under.



We see the outside and want the inside.

But it's the inside of ourselves

that really hurt us and make us both cry.

So I want to see you from the inside.
