Alice Wretch - Inside Lyrics

In shadows she wanders a smile painted on
But deep within her the darkness has drawn
Silent whispers plague her a voice in the night
A hunger that stirs craving freedom from the fight

It claws at her heart it feeds on her fears
A phantom consuming her hopes and her tears
She tries to break free but it pulls her down tight
A prisoner of longing lost in the night

There's a fire inside her a force she can't tame
It eats her from within playing a twisted game
No joy in her laughter no peace in her soul
An entity rising it's losing control

Each day is a battle a war she can't win
It dances like shadows taunting from within
With every heartbeat it aches for release
A relentless reminder she longs for her peace

It whispers of freedom but chains her instead
A darkness now living in pathways of dread
She fights to escape but it's tightening the hold
A tempest of fury refusing to unfold

There's a fire inside her a force she can't tame
It eats her from within playing a twisted game
No joy in her laughter no peace in her soul
An entity rising it's losing control

In the depths of her struggle she seeks out the light
A flicker of hope in the heart of the night
Will she reclaim the air or drown in this fight?
Only time will tell if she'll break free tonight

There's a fire inside her a force she can't tame
It eats her from within playing a twisted game
No joy in her laughter no peace in her soul
An entity rising it's losing control
