I want a riff you can see

I want a riff you can tell

I want a riff you see through

The mask I wear so well for you

I'll never let you know what's going on inside me

My shame, locks me down



All the things I wanted to tell you

All the things I never will

Everytime you reach down to me

All I did was push you away



I cannot change the beast that screams inside me

I hate it, it's what I am



It makes me sick to be so mean

From what I've been and what I've seen

From top to bottom, I am obsene



You smile at me, I smile back

You ask me how I am

I tell you that I'm fine



I don't why I'm so torn up inside my mind

The darkness, it swallows me whole



It makes me sick to be so mean

From what I've been and what I've seen

From top to bottom, I am obsene



It stands in my place

It spits in my face

It's shame, shame!

It's shame!



It makes that old lie

It makes that old lie

It makes me look at myself and say
