It's so dark in here
Dark in here

I'm stuck deep in my fear
Deep in my fear

You used to let me out
Let me out

Now our mind is filled with doubt
Filled with doubt

I'm just your inner child

I'm you - before you were defiled

I was the you before you learned to fake a smile

Come talk to me for a while

Give me a hug
Show me the love
We only dreamed of

Give back to me what they stole from us
The peace and the joy we had before all the cuts
Before all the brutal betrayal all the knives in our back
You were me once - before your life turned black
You locked me away
With no words to say
You thought you were keeping me safe
But you weren't.

Now I'm just scared of being alone
I'm more scared of people
Then being on my own
Because of the monsters they all have shown
But being locked away - now the pain has grown

I wish you could see me
I wish you could hear me
I wish you could free me
I wish you could be me

I'm the inner child crying
I'm your inner child -
And I'm dying
