Inside of me there is a man
Whose heart is broken
Whose life is a sham
He tried all his life
To do what was right
But all he got was discontent
Not delight
He loved more than once
But they never knew
The truth of what he went through
They never saw the pain and agony that he held for so long
The pain of not knowing
Killing his soul
Until at last he said all right
The time had come to shed the light
To bare his soul
To expose the pain
No one could understand
No one could see
All my plans
My ambitions
They stared straight through me
They did not care
They did not want to see
They wanted to be comforted
But to ignore me
I was a friend
This is true
Any yet of me nothing they really knew
They ever considered me
They never gave so much as a thought
And all the while I needed help a lot
I was drowning
With no one to hear my cries
No one to care if I lived or died
Why should I go on
If nobody cares
But I must go on
I have no choice
I must travel the paths
Of woe and despair
In the hope that I will find something
