Somewhere in the night

Harsh words & violent blows
Hidden secrets nobody knows
Eyes are open, hands are fisted
Deep inside I’m bent & twisted
So many tricks & so many lies
Too many whines & too many whys
Nobody’s special, nobody’s gifted
I’m just me, so bent and twisted

Somewhere in the night a child cries,
A woman weeps and somebody dies.
Somewhere in the night, humanity hides.

Asleep awake & choking on a dream
Listening aloud to my silent scream
Call my mind, it’s unlisted
Lost in a name so warped & twisted
On my knees, alive but dead
Look at the unseen blood I’ve bled
I’m not gone, my mind has drifted
I’m still me, still bent and twisted

Somewhere in the night a child cries,
A woman weeps and somebody dies.
Somewhere in the night, humanity hides.

Asleep awake & choking on a dream
Listening aloud, to my silent scream
Call my mind,
Lost in a name so warped & twisted
