Inside Out
Rossum Emmy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Unsew my seams, look inside if you dare.
Do you still like what you're seeing now?
Secrets and sins all exposed, spilling out.
Am I still safe here on this fragile ground.

Inside out before you now.
Bare these bones and lay me down.
This suicide feels so alive.
Will you take me as I am.
Inside out.

Moving in silence, feel the rush hold me down.
Is this too real what you're feeling now.
Ecstasy rising, giving in, no thinking.
Love will you save me or just turn away.

Inside out before you now.
Bare these bones and lay me down.
This suicide feels so alive.
Will you take me as I am.
Inside out.

Up on this high wire.
I might just come crashing down.
Reach out for me 'cause I am.

Inside out before you now.
Bare these bones and lay me down.
This suicide feels so alive.




Will you take me as I am.
Inside out.

I had no fucking idea Emmy Rossum sings. Damn.
FIona, you could feed your family with this.

@rosepetelris8856

Anya Koslowski watch phantom of the opera.

@langyd4518

she made a mistake not making classical albums after phantom of the opera, her mainstream music career never took off that well. Iโ€™d love to hear her sing classical music and opera music.

@JoeMama-rt8jx

@@langyd4518 I know Amy Rossum shouldโ€™ve made Fiona Gallagher sing this right in front of her family before Her departure
