On the Inside

I've been living in a crack in the wall Four months, three days Hey, look at that, four and three make seven This could be my lucky break I've been living in a crack in the wall They do say karma's a bitch We cut each other deep Now I'm behind the scenes Tryna mend our ramshackle family Oh, I love you, sisters Not a day goes by that I don't Cross my fingers that I stay alive On the inside As shattered as my prophecies On the inside I'm clinging to my fantasies On the inside A withering apology 'Cause I love you, Mama But you just let me leave On the inside I've been living in a crack in the wall Has God forgotten me too? A pinch of salt and the Holy Writ Ain't enough to conceal the foul taste on my lips because I've been living in a crack in the wall I-I-I I think I'm losing my mind I've got a niece who can hear every sigh And I wish that I could just suck it up and die It's so hard not to be bitter But I've been trying my best I understand I understand But I just wanna be a person again Oh, I just wanna be a person again On the inside As shattered as my prophecies On the inside I'm clinging to my fantasies On the inside A withering apology 'Cause I love you, Mama But you just let me leave On the inside
