Analysis of Trying to escape me...
I try....
I try to escape the old me.
Who will feel me or hold me?
The cold me is only trying to take
over me by it's lonely.
From within I am trying to hold him in.
I try to close him in but I feel as if I
will implode while clawing and rippin' off my skin.
Inside of sin he is one of the worse men.
Inside of bloodbaths he bashes men while he swims
and is no good with any of the women.
I try...
I try to escape him...
My heart beats faster.
I try to replace him.
I start to break him and shake him off.
But then I feel hand fulls of my flesh
inside of his claws. d*mn he's strong!
I never knew that I possessed this fierceness
within myself all along....
Something is going on inside of me.
So I set me beside me inside me I finally see
what went wrong. My heart had definitely changed,
but I was singing the same old song......
