i search to see
the self within
too deep inside to see a friend
i dig so deep
but cannot find
just where i left myself behind
i scream
i cry
i run and hide
but in myself
i still can't find
the place i left myself behind
i sing
i draw
i be myself
i rant
i rave
i pray for help
so deep within
there is no light
when did my life become deep night
outside is light
and love
and hope
but deep within i cannot cope
the knife it calls
i make it wait
because from death
there's no escape
and still i scream
and still i cry
where did i leave myself behind?
