There's a pain in my lungs I would like to scream out But there's something that keeps me from screaming And there are days in this life When I feel without doubt That my insides are boiling and steaming
There's a fear in my eyes That my tears won't wash out And those tears won't be quenching my thirst There are nights spent awake 'Cause my heartbeat's so loud That I wait for my ribcage to burst
[Wordless Interlude]
There's a pain in my head I would like to knock out But I can't 'cause my skull is a prison There are days in this life When I know without doubt It's your love and my egoism
There are mornings I wake And all meaning is gone, Someone stole it away in my sleep There are nights when I fear Nothing I've ever done Was quite worth it to fall this deep...
[Wordless Interlude]
Though I know that my surface looks fragile and tender My voice and my bones, they are easy to break I've no obvious thorns, I'm just soft skin and flesh, But beneath all this, there burns a fire
Though I know that my surface looks fragile and tender My voice and my bones, they are easy to break I've no obvious thorns, I'm just soft skin and flesh, But beneath all this there burns a fire.
