Analysis of Inside me
E.S. Conway 1985 (United Kingdom)
Can you see the pain,
That lives behind my eyes
Can you hear the truth,
Through all my smiling lies,
Can you feel the torment,
My body causes me
I'm living for the day to come,
I can live with what I see.
If I smile and I seem strong,
I'm doing that for you,
But that doesn't mean,
It's not hell i'm going through.
My body is a prison,
It drains me every day,
So please don't dangle keys,
Then just take them away.
