well, here I am for all of them to bleed,
but they can't take my heart from me,

"Looking In", Daydream, 1995

It seems as though I've always been,
somebody outside looking in,
well, here I am for all of them to bleed,
but they can't take my heart from me,
and they can't bring me to my knees,
they'll never know the real me.
