The Deeper Wound

The Deeper Wound

 

Verse 1

The truth is buried underneath

You’re stepping on it

So get off and dig it out

You will find what you have been looking for

And when you do, you will appreciate it

It has been with you all this time

There is no denying its existence

You must feel lucky to have it

Does that mean you will embrace it?

I have nothing

I have no one to call my own

I feel jealousy towards you

Verse 2

Sometimes I feel like giving up

But I don’t

Other times I feel like winning

But I won’t

They will tear me down

They will wear me down

I’ll be standing on my own

You have everything

You have someone to call your own

I feel anger towards you

Bridge

Having your heart broken is sad

Being pierced by an object is bad

But realizing that you have nothing is the deeper wound

Chorus

I can see you

You’re everywhere, but where am I?

I have searched but I come empty-handed
