What's Inside of Me

I'll give you a look
Maybe a smile
So you can't see
What's inside of me
I'll be okay
For a little while

This mask on my face
Always in style
So you can't see
What's inside of me
I'm okay
For a little while

You say that you know
You say that you see
What the whole world
And everyone should be
You say that you know
You say that you see
But you have no idea
What's inside of me

With my head held high
And my frown hid away
So you can't see
What's inside of here
What's inside of me
I'll live another day

A coldness in my heart
That won't dissipate
But you can't see
What's inside of here
What's inside of me
I'll die another day

You say that it's certain
Life and liberty
And that the whole world
Isn't what it should be
You say that you care
You say that you see
But you have no idea
What's inside of me

You judge the cover
Not the book inside
You could never see
What it is to fear
What it is to hate
What it's like to hide

A liar covered in knowledge
In yourself, you don't confide
You could never see
If it was laid out flat
Laid before your eyes
What it is you hide

You say the world is a stage
That we are all free
But free from what I ask
You could never see
The love that is never shown
The fear that will always be
But you have no idea
What's inside of me

I guess you need no one else, especially not a squirrel, to tell you how good this is...great one though. I love the emotions portrayed.

My god, this was aawesome!! Your words demand attention, no but's about it... This has turned into a mindless charade, and so few have the true courage to show what they have inside. Our demons are devouring us, and yet we smile another day
