lyrics

Within the silence of my mind I try to find a place where I'm all alone deep within my thoughts
It does not escape me, the world that made me/ This place is so damn crazy so then I end up getting caught
In no man’s land where I am left to stand/ I do not understand the many demands that this life has put on me
I’d run away and find a shade tree, but what would be left for me but to end up sad and lonely
I loved that girl, but then this world took her from me/ Cruel as it may seem I guess that’s the way it oft times works
So many lives gone without what appears to be reason/ And all we have left when it’s done are memories and hurt
All my critics and those that judge without knowing - someday I may just up and walk away
Try as I might wear thicker skin there’s simply no way to win – no way to escape the ugliness of what they say

Chorus

So I strip down and I get naked/ I show my soul/ And all that I cover inside
I strip down and I get naked/ I show my soul/ The truth of what a smile cannot hide
I strip down and I get naked/ I show my soul/ Open and up reveal this world of darkness
I strip down and I get naked/ I show my soul/ To look in the mirror turns out to be the hardest part

Down to the core – to the bone – to my very essence, so much I wish that I could wash away
Lying awake at night sometimes I wish this were all a dream, and that I’d wake up to a brand new day
The things that I’ve done in my lifetime just to make it here – I cannot honestly say that I have no regrets
Intoxicants and barbiturates to soak away these dirty little secrets that I’ve always kept
There’s been joy and there’s been pain – life goes that way – it’s the way that the world goes around
Many a person that has loved me – that has cared for me
Seems to have always been there for me to pick me up when I’m down
And as I lie alone on my death-bed praying to my maker wondering what will come to be
Maybe I will smile one last time thinking about all these lines I wrote down in this song for no one else but me

Chorus
