I knew when I was very young
That something just, something
Just wasn't right
I played alone just 3 years old
I turned around a mirror caught
My sight
I didn't understand the face
Was mine
The face was mine I ran to hide

Tremblingin a state of shock
I can still remember how I cried

Now my life is painful, my body
Like a tomb
The devil must have seen
Me inside

Each time that I ran away to hide

Each time that I ran away to
Hide again

Each time that I ran away to
Hide myself

Each time that I ran away to hide

My face is my affliction
My mind is cold my mind is
Cold and bleak
I learned when I grew older
That I was born, I was born
A freak
My mother couldn't bring herself
To love me, look me in the face
She locked me up for 18 years
Kept me as a prisoner in
That place

Now my life is painful, my body
Like a tomb
The devil must have seen
Me inside

Each time that I ran away to hide

Each time that I ran away to
Hide again

Each time that I ran away to
Hide myself

Each time that I ran away to hide

My presence never welcome now
The day that my emotions
Have all died
No-one left to turn to now
I keep my feelings bottled
Up inside
No-one cares or wants to know
Now I've got to run away to hide
Living through a hell on earth
The devil must have taken
Me inside

Now my life is painful, my body
Like a tomb
The devil must have seen
Me inside

It's time that I ran away to hide

It's time that I ran away to
Hide again

It's time that I ran away to hide
Myself - my hate is building

It's time that I ran away to hide
