Analysis of Let Me In



Blanked out eyes
You're not really here
Body here
But soul not near

Expressionless face
Smooth soft skin
So tempted to touch it
But afraid you won't let me in

Don't want to be brushed off
Or told no again
Don't wanna break down
Don't want any suffering

Just want to let go
And tell you everything
Let you know what's up
And let you in

Blanked out eyes
You're not really here
Body here
But soul not near

Expressionless face
Smooth soft skin
So tempted to touch it
But afraid you won't let me in
