Revealing Layer After Layer
Reaching Deep Within
Finding our darkest sin
One we have long since buried
Down under as far as we can go
Thinking it is hidden from the world
Then one day the thought rises in our heads
We try to forget
It won't go away
It was so many years ago
Why now ?
Why me ?
I have done everything since then to be better
Why can't you leave me alone
Find someone else to bother
I have tried to hide
I have cried
It is no use
You will follow me wherever I go
Nobody must ever know
How could they find out
I will never tell
You are only a thought
That creeps in my darkest hour
When I am sick and not feeling well
Go away
You don't belong here
I will not give you any time or energy
Soon you will fade
Back in the hole
That I have dug
Gone for good
Because I will not let you rule my life
Lets make one thing clear
I did something stupid
I was young and foolish
Listening to my peers
I will not let you cause me great harm
I have carried the weight of you on my shoulders for long enough
O.k.
You will not haunt me no more
I am here to dig you up
Each shovel I lift you become less and less
Now I reach where you were laid to rest
A half gallon of friendly's ice cream
I don't even remember what flavor
Stolen from the glass case
A friend grabbed it and we ran
There was no turning back or we would get caught
I would be in big trouble
We had no spoon to eat it
So we ate it with our hands
It really wasn't that good
It was too cold on a hot summer day
The guilt was heavier than the shame
Now the world knows
A hole in the ground stands
Where my fears once lay
Now out in the open
I can have a good day
