Wounded
I’ve got a book in my head but I can’t write it down
It writes itself in my dreams and when I’m walking around
Cause I’ve seen some things nobody should see
And fight as I might these nightmares won’t set me free
I’m dying inside
I’ve got nowhere to hide
I’m wounded
Old memories rise
And I can’t close my eyes
I’m wounded
Wounded inside my head
Half of me’s dead
And the rest of me lives in the shadow of what has been wounded
You never will know. You can’t understand
What a life on the edge of death can do to a man
You lose your way. You forget wrong and right
You’re locked in and endless battle between you and your fright
I’m dying inside
I’ve got nowhere to hide
I’m wounded
Old memories rise
And I can’t close my eyes
I’m wounded
Wounded inside my head
Half of me’s dead
And the rest of me lives in the shadow of what has been wounded
Oh, it’s such a long way to go home
I don’t have the strength to get there all on my own
I need to talk but I’m so afraid
Can’t you see that I’m haunted by all the mistakes I have made
I need you to trust. I need you to see
That the demon who did all those things Is not really me
I’m dying inside
I’ve got nowhere to hide
I’m wounded
Old memories rise
And I can’t close my eyes
I’m wounded
Wounded inside my head
Half of me’s dead
And the rest of me lives in the shadow of what has been wounded
