Dead Inside

from First Person Singular by Robin Tymm

/

lyrics

There is a battle underneath my skin to take control of me
There are forces fighting deep within too small for me to see
And they've been bit by bit dismantling the man I used to be
There is a battle raging deep inside of me

We are designed to slowly kill ourselves as far as I can tell
With the means of its destruction inside each and every cell
And as these billion little time-bombs tick perhaps it's just as well
It's been designed that way as far as I can tell

CHORUS
There's no way out, there's no escape
The best that you can do
Is to hope it's quick and painless
When your time runs out on you
When they're looking for the reasons
When they've wiped away their tears
They'll realise that you've been dead inside for years
Dead inside for years

Don't be fooled by the exterior there's much that it can hide
You might paint a healthy picture, glowing skin and pearly whites
You need a scalpel and microscope to prove it's all a lie
Don't be fooled 'cause there is much that it can hide

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
So built in to every part of me
My head down to my feet
Is the command to slowly atrophy
And render obsolete
So be in no doubt when you're hollowed out and empty
The process is complete

INSTRUMENTAL

REPEAT CHORUS
