In the Depths of My Heart Lyrics

In the depths of my heart

A fire starts

To regrow my spirit


From it's broken start

The love was always there

But emotions were left raw and bare

When I was sadistically injured


While people just stood and stared

Nobody intervened


To save me from the harm

They looked the other way


When my eyes sounded the alarm

Now I have dead eyes


From people not caring

Now I close down and close off

When I see others glaring

Others choosing


To shutdown and not see the truth

And pushing me away in the process

And instead enabling the brutes

Ignoring the evident abuse

Magical thinking takes over


To save us from the pain

Of what we don't want to face


The burden is just too great

No endless energy to find


That can rescue us from this bind

When we look away from another person's pain


When our bodies and minds, automatically sense

Try to keep us sane

Instead of a hug


We shoot out vitriol

To shut the person down


Instead of heal the wounds

That have been found
