Keep It On The Inside

Matthew Perryman Jones


I'm behind the wheel
Cold and stoned
The spirit is heavy
And I just want to be alone

I was born so free
But a slave I'm bound
I lost myself
On a long way down

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, let's fight
I'm pushing up against the dark tonight
I never want to tell you
What I saw last night
Keep it on the inside

There's a hiding place
On the bedroom floor
I cover myself
When the cold wind blows

I've been living like a ghost
In a cage of steel
With the gate wide open
On a battlefield

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, let's fight
I'm pushing up against the dark tonight
I never want to tell you
What I thought last night
Keep it on the inside

Setting stones
On a fire in motion
But you don't want to know it
Do you?
It's broken like a bone inside

There's a lightning storm
Tearing up the field
Everything changes
I'm trying just to let it go, now
Let it go
Let it go, now
Let it go
Let it go, now
