Inside Out
Cervello Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been here awhile,
Just try to get out,
Cause I can not stand this feeling

I can not deny
That you haven't tried
To give me a bad taste in my mouth
Have to change
Find my place
See the path that will lead on

Break these chains
Change my face
Try to run away from you, yeah
I run away from you

I can not believe that I was in need,
Of all the things you tried to give me

I was digging deep
Had no air to breathe
Destroyed the part of me I need

As I failed
Lost my place
All your lights of misleading

Make you pay
Watch you fade
See you crawl away from me, yeah
See you crawl away

I wanna grab you by the skin
And make you crawl out of it

I wanna cut your throat and run
When your words hit me like nails

I wanna taste you like the sun
Bites me when I'm burning

For all the damage you have done,
I feel completely inside out

I'm starting to see
The ditch full of greed
And now I know your true intentions

Break these chains
Change my face
Now I run away from you, yeah
Yeah, I'm on my way out

I wanna grab you by the skin
And make you crawl out of it

I wanna cut your throat and run
When your words hits me like nails

I wanna taste you like the sun
Bites me when I'm burning





For all the damage you have done,
I feel completely inside out
