The Inner You

You can’t escape it
It’s the cold hard truth
Run all you want
But you can’t hide yourself
Underneath its still you
Under all that hate
All that pain
All that sorrow
Its still you
You can try to fight it
Try to escape it
Cover it up and run away
Won’t change a thing
It’s still there
Locked up in its cage
Waiting for you to hand it the keys
Untie its hands
And set it free
Try and lock it up and turn away
Try and throw away the keys and run away
And watch it break free
Run loose and gain dominion over you
And I’ll be there to laugh
And tell you what you did wrong
I’ll tell you what to do
Right here and now
Forget the keys
And let it break free
Let it roam and gain dominion
Embrace it for it is yourself
And yourself you can not live without
