1st Verse

Your eyes hurt me like nails,
driven deep into me.
Your words send me to jail.
Give me peace; set me free.

The thing that you most fear
isn’t real, isn’t me.
I cry when you come near
‘cause I bleed easily.

Chorus:

I’ve a soul inside
that is burning like a witch.
Tried to take my pride
but I slipped between your fingers.

I’ve a soul inside
that is burning like a witch.
How I’ve tried to hide
my heartbeat but it lingers.

2nd Verse

You mock me when I’m weak
and hate me when I’m strong.
You say I never speak
but you’ve taken my tongue.

I used to idolize
and want you as my friend
but now I realize
your lies will burn you in the end.

Says it all too quickly, could say more, but very well crafted, I wish I could do as well.

Thanks, Spicer. I suppose I could've written another verse and maybe a bridge but I kind of like songs that are short and sweet.

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.

Really like this, and know too well how hard it is to write lyrics so I take my hat off to you for this one. Like the chorus in particular, and the second verse, too. Would love to hear it sung, well done :)

Thanks, penandpaperdreams. I suppose its a song about being persecuted and bullied and I've had alot of experience of that. Sadly, I can only play a few chords on the guitar and can't sing at all but I'd like to hear it set to music too. I imagine it as sort of a thrash metal song maybe, like Metallica. JoHn - "Ex amore victoria". ("From love comes victory".)

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.
