The Only Way Out Is In

The Only Way Out Is In

A Poem by Travis Prino

Tonight again I feel alone

well this is how I've felt for the last five years

I'm soaking wet and freezing cold

this pouring rain was caused by a thousand tears

tonight I'll let you in

you'll regret ever asking

tonight to find your escape

you'll have to see through eyes of pain


you want to get inside my head

but when you see what's there instead

you'll want to get the f**k out

you'll find things you never knew about

so now you look down on me

acting as if you were never that naive

but you wanted to get in my head

and now the only way out is in


tonight again I'm not alone

voices occupy the vacant space in my mind

welcome to the life I've known

these whispers were the cause of me deteriorating inside

tonight I'll let you in

you'll regret ever asking

tonight to navigate the dark

embrace the fear you feel in my heart


you want to get inside my head

but when you see what's there instead

you'll want to get the f**k out

you'll find things you never knew about

so now you look down on me

acting as if you were never that naive

but you wanted to get in my head

and now the only way out is in


I'm not sure you want to know

the secrets buried in my soul

but I'll try to make you understand if you think so

I'm not sure you want to know

the secrets buried in my soul

but I'll try to make you understand if you think so


you want to get inside my head

but when you see what's there instead

you'll want to get the f**k out

you'll find things you never knew about

so now you look down on me

acting as if you were never that naive

but you wanted to get in my head

and now the only way out is in


what you found has left you crippled

lost inside a world unable

to ever find your way out

to ever find your way out

but you wanted to understand me.
