Dead Inside

He gave it away today
He let it rot and fade away
He let it die
He never cries
He's dead inside

He gave his heart away
He never liked it anyway
Now it lies in an alley
Like garabage used and thrown away
Unwanted and useless

He distroyed his hopes and dreams
He cut them up with people's words
Left them in the dirt
What's left slowly rots
Fading away into nothingness

He let the good inside him die
He let it commit suicide
Cruelty was absorbed into his soul
Replacing all that was ever good
Numming the pain inside

He never once shed a tear
He never liked to show his fears
Keeping it bottled up inside
Like acid it eats away at his inside
In time it will eat its way outside

He never really lived
He never got any of those good things
Faced with darkness too soon in life
It was too much for innocence to survive
He became dead inside.
