ON THE INSIDE

I gave you an impression

A figment of our dream

When two hearts make a hole

Just can’t learn the lesson

The mirror shields the soul

From seeing what may seem

A token to redeem

Delusions of control

Scratch me

I look hard on the outside

But I’m soft on the inside

But I’m hard on the inside

But I’m hot on the inside

But I’m cold on the inside

The man you saw in me

Destined to betray us

The one you thought so kind

Merely mirrors beauty

Refracting what’s behind

You peel back the layers

To answer my prayers

Only nothing to find

Bite me

Look alive on the outside

But I’m dead on the inside

But I’m true on the inside

But I’m cruel on the inside

But I’m fool on the inside

My lost hotel room heart

Have I been here before?

Just when it feels right

The dream supposed to start

This sleeping satellite

Barefoot on the floor

Down the out corridor

Naked into the night

Crush me

I look real on the outside

But I lie on the inside

But I fold on the inside

But I’m young on the inside

But I’m old on the inside
