Inner Child Using my pen and paper as paddles On this river of madness I struggle to resuscitate my battered soul Make my mind whole Picture me a pinata fallen down My insides emptied by children of the dark My blood runs cold every time I think of being stripped naked And lashed with a switch Then being forced to tell the doctor I fell and busted my own lip It seems as if the kid in me got gone with the wind Left me broke down straight living in sin Getting all my self-worth from rocking my Tims I'm tired and fed up with these constant visions of getting wet up This bitter paranoia got me walking around jumpy I think I'm being set up It's hard to keep my head up But I just can't let up Simon says get up! Open your ears and shut up! Try to love another Hard as it may be, boy Try to open your heart And trust somebody You ain't seen in awhile Your inner child Now that boy got tears that could fill up the Nile Let him cry away those lies that clogged up his eyes Then you and he and I will see the sunrise. -Daniel Cacho
