Self Inflicted

A million piercing eyes make you feel alive
Yet your skin can't hide that your dead inside
Shallow, broken and worthless to me
I look far beyond what you want me to see

Who left me out to die?
In an existence buried alive
I remember a time when I dreamed
I recall the hope in my eyes

Afraid of what you might find?
If you took a moment to look inside
Hate, loathing and self rejection
Behind those eyes it's a growing infection

Who left me on the outside?
Where did we get lost along the way
I remember a time when it seemed
That all your wounds were self inflicted

It's seething
It's breeding
It's restricted
It's self inflicted

Who left me on the outside?
Where did we get lost along the way
I remember a time when it seemed
That all your wounds were self inflicted
