Come in I’ll show you
a glimpse of my soul, a glimpse of my heart.
Where it starts bleeding,
where wounds become scars,
and where I hide my feelings.

Come in, I’ll show my wars,
I’ll show you my mind
It’s a very dark place,
It’s very numb,
empty and lost space.

Come in, I’ll show you,
While I weep-while I weep,
What I’ve become.
Too broken a masterpiece.
