Eaten Up Inside
Korn · Other Songs - Korn
Something I heard someone says
To me, will make me laugh
And I'll lay back, and fade away
Let me go, I'll be fine
Frozen here in time
Sick of being alive
Eaten up inside
Let me die, go away
I never got what I wanted
I never got what I needed
What's on my mind? Who can say?
It's my infection I'm feeding
I cannot stop all this bleeding
I'll be ready
Give me the morphine
And I'll go to sleep as I dream
Maybe I will just slide away
Let me go, I'll be fine
Frozen here in time
Sick of being alive
Eaten up inside
Let me die, go away
I never got what I wanted
I never got what I needed
What's on my mind? Who can say?
It's my infection I'm feeding
I cannot stop all this bleeding
Eaten up inside
Let me die, go away
I never got what I wanted
I never got what I needed
What's on my mind? Who can say?
It's my infection I'm feeding
I cannot stop all this bleeding
Eaten, eaten, inside
Inside, inside
Eaten up inside
