Strophe
underneath your skin
hidden deep within
the long forgotten thorn
inside
buried by the years
the memory it bears
the well repressed thorn
inside
growing number day by day
until the pain will fade away
the thorn inside digs deeper still
Refrain
to shed that sting
you have to face
this parasite
inside
let anger fuel
your battered self
let righteous rage
be your guide
Strophe
trying to ignore
what has been before
nobody can look
inside
unseen and concealed
hidden wounds inflame
glowing anguish starts
inside
aching more and more each day
the pain just never went away
the thorn inside has found it's way
Refrain
