I. Within these walls
Alone afraid
In the dark of the corner he will try to hide his shame
Where it shows to no one
Nothing wrong in being scared, it will all fall into place
According to his dad
But son, you just cant tell anyone
And there, deep in the night
He gets to kiss the floor once again
And though he fears his fathers eyes
That is nothing compared to
The cold touch of his hands
Of his hands
His cold touch
Wipe those silly tears from your eyes
That show when you look at me
Cant you see that I love you?
I always have and I always will
You can never turn away from
The hand that rocked your cradle
Ive been there through all you have seen
You would be nothing without me
And there, deep in the night
He gets to kiss the floor once again
And though he fears his fathers eyes
That is nothing compared to
The cold touch of his hands
Of his hands
His cold touch...
His cold touch
II. A silent outside
You and your staring eyes
How come you dont welcome me anymore?
Im still the one you embraced but now youre disgraced?
A silent outside I once called my home
Blinded by the shame he turns against the world outside
He just cant seem to understand that they are all just helping hands
While the world was still asleep, he had to pay on his hands and knees
And when the sun came to chase the night away
He would just lie there in pain and pray
Hes lost in the void within
Hes walking in a circle of nothing
All alone against a silent inside
You and your judging eyes
How come I have changed while still being the same?
The child you embraced today a disgrace?
A silent outside I once call
