Deep Down
Deep down inside is a world I don’t show full of darkness without light to cast a shadow
I want to break free but the chains are too strong shackling me to the guilt of all the times I did wrong
Holding me back from happiness Forcing loneliness down my throat Shoving my mistakes in my face Tearing away any spark of hope
I can’t break the chains I can’t fly away to safety No matter how much I want it No one else can save me
On the outside I’ll smile Even if my own words can’t save me I’ll take the light I make in the dark and hold it aloft for others to see
Because Deep Down inside where the light can’t go is a dark and empty world that I never want anyone else to know
