Like a thorn in your flesh
I am ripped from inside
As you bleed for the world to see
I am shame
I am rage
All the parts you contain
As you shove deeper down to hide

Peeling back the mask of my sanity
Terrified by the face I see
Choking back the tears and the misery
Only one survives inside of me

Never alone
You're the dead inside of me
Face is not your own
We're one in the same
In the mirror's gaze (never alone)
You're the dead inside of me

Dead inside of me

Like a bone in your skin
Leaving insides exposed
As you plead for the pain to subside
You are weak
You are frail
Without me, you will fail
And the wounds will not heal in time

Peeling back the mask of my sanity
Losing all sense of what used to be
Crashing down, the weight and the gravity
Only one survives inside of me

Never alone
You're the dead inside of me
Face is not your own
We're one in the same
In the mirror's gaze (never alone)
You're the dead inside of me

As you plead for the pain to subside
As you plead for the pain to subside
As you plead for the pain to subside

Never alone
You're the dead inside of me
Face is not your own
We're one in the same
In the mirror's gaze (never alone)
The dead inside of me

Peeling back the mask of my sanity
Terrified by the face I see
We're one in the same
In the mirror's gaze (never alone)
You're the dead inside of me
Dead inside of me
Dead inside of me
