''My Mind, My Body, My Soul''
Ive climbed the mountain of broken glass
crawling on my hands and knees......
Fell back down to starting ground
feeling lifeless where I laid to bleed....
With each move I made my flesh was torn
only to bare new scars......
How to go on fighting a battle
when you feel the world ripped out your heart....
Ive danced with the master of deciet
through the rain, in the pale of the moonlight.....
So I know why I bare these scars
why when i cry, blood flows from eye's.........
My skin is pale, my eye's are black,
my body when touched is cold.....
I run around blind, trying to find,
My Mind, My Body, My Soul................
