Inside of Me

They all left me to fall apart,

I embraced the darkness within my heart,

Another group took me in,

Savages that were built upon sin,

Why won't they just let me be,

to deal with the darkness inside of me?

 

I watched as they screamed and laughed,

Everything dead that crossed their path,

They prized their trophies, the things they take,

Leaving nothing but sorrow in their wake,

What else they need,

to deal with the greed inside of me?

 

I wore their colors and they took me in,

To violence and chaos I wore a grin,

To peace and order I ripped and tore,

Until it was no more,

When I look in the mirror, who do I see,

to deal with the monster inside of me?

 

And now my friends have returned,

To see my skin scarred and burned,

The evil thing I have become,

All the evil deeds I've done,

What will it take for me to see,

that there's still good inside of me?
