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

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

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

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 ca
