You see me like a monster, everyday you pass and stare
The cross I bear, it pulls me under
Tragedy that scars and stains, and marks my face
I'm just another tale, an urban myth
Some legend used to scare the kids
A ghost that roams the halls at night
How long till you see the child inside?
The child inside
The child inside
The child
You treat me like an outcast, while you see all the years go by
The war mask
That's keepin' me inside of chains, keeps you awake
But, when the black is split, behind the eyes
There I still am, you're trapped tonight
A ghost that roams the halls at night
Hoping that you'll see the child inside
The child inside
The child inside
Here I stay locked away, deep inside every night
Here I stay locked away, deep inside, oh, I'm the child inside
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, the child inside, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, the child inside, the child inside
The child inside
The child inside
The child inside
