Inside the Perfect Shadow (21/2/05)

(1)

Lingering words and the hurt you left me,

The shattered fragments of a person I can never be,

The condescending insults ringing in my ears,

You walk away and you never notice my tears.

Inside the perfect shadow that you wish to see,

Cowers this immaculate perception, me.

(2)

My problems are too hard and you don’t want to know,

The scars inside too deep to let your feelings show,

You turn your back again on another painful day,

And close your blinkered eyes as I wash my blood away.

Inside the perfect shadow that you wish to see,

Cowers this immaculate perception, me.

(3)

You’re not the only one with scars inside,

In the dark place where our fears and secrets hide,

The difference is that you gave them to me.

You took what hurt you and you set it free,

Inside the perfect shadow that you wish to see,

This immaculate perception, Me.
