A voice you heard so long ago
It's coming back to haunt you
A voice that's aware
There's another mask behind your face
The child within
Your cold reality
Forged from the dreams of a bitter man
Is shaken to the core
When you hear him calling
The child within
Can you stare into his eyes?
Do you dare?
After all those times you tried to strangle
The child within
Walls are coming down
But you won't get hurt
You're safe inside
The velvet touch of childhood fears
With the child within
He takes you by the hand
On a road leading back to innocence
You're ready to leave
When you hear him calling
The child within
Can you stare into his eyes?
Do you dare?
After all those times you tried to strangle
The child within
When you strangle the child within....
It's coming back to haunt you
