Take a look in the mirror; it’s a face I haven’t seen,
Thought I knew this song before but I seem to have lost the key

It’s vaguely familiar, but the tune remains the same,
Bits and pieces of experience past disturb me, and I’m ashamed

The constant reminders, of recent events gone by
Continue to push me toward my self destruction

CHORUS:
Internally……I cry (I cry)
Nocturnally…I lie, past memories fade
Too proud, too strong, too soon, too young, don’t wanna stay……..yeah

Eternally…I die (I die),
Victimized…for life, this is the day
Lord gimme some help, to save myself, ‘fore I’m gone away….yeah

Ooooo, I’m gone away…yeah…
Oooooo, ohhhhhh….gone away…..

Two approaching figures, cast shadows on the floor
One looks just like me, only twenty years before

And up until then, I didn’t realize,
How this injustice would play out on my young boy’s life

CHORUS 2:
Internally……I cry (I cry)
Nocturnally…I lie, past memories fade
Too proud, too strong (too strong), too soon, too young, I wanna stay……..

Eternally…I die (I die),
Victimized…for life, this is the day , yeah
Lord gimme some help, I’ll save myself, ain’t gone away
