Dead Inside
Saint Laveau Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Digging my grave from the other side
Bleeding out and I'm all alone
Torn apart I'm losing control
The blood in me is cold
My heart has turned to stone
You took away my soul and left me with a hole
The love in me is gone
My body on the outside may be still alive
But I'm dead inside
My nightmare has come to life
I bleed but I cant tell if I'm alive
Kill my heart strangle my soul
Paralyzed I'm losing control
The blood in me is cold
My heart has turned to stone
You took away my soul and left me with a hole
The life support is on
The love in me is gone
My body on the outside may be still alive
But I'm dead inside
The blood in me is cold
My heart has turned to stone
You took away my soul and left me with a hole
The life support is on
The love in me is gone
My body on the outside may be still alive
But I'm dead inside
