The lies, the deceit, everything that comes out when you speak
It disfigures me till I feel like a freak
Further away from my path, I astray
It's ok, I just store the pain within myself as I do every day
It cuts me open with a knife of steel
But I can still take it, my weakness I'll never reveal
I have scars all over my body, but you can't see
They're all hidden, except the one on my knee
This pain is growing for years and only stops when I'll finally bend
Till then it expands because I don't understand
Your motives, your reasons for hurting me so
Why are you doing this, do you want me to go?
Is it that you just don't care
Or is my appearance too much for you to bare?
All that you see is a glimpse of who I used to be
You see an empty shell, but that's not me
Are you happy with yourself and all you've got?
I despise you for all that you're not
Fortunately I'm not alone in this struggle, this fight
As my inner demon enlightens my soul every night
