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
