lyrics

Something inside me tells me that I’m real
And something outside me tells me not to feel
How can I find my way back inside?
Without getting tangled and mangled in pride?

When will they finally see? There’s something inside of me…
That often breaks and bleeds, but it always sets me free.

Harbor resentment like some stolen child
Guarded with fear and been gutted by guile
Hopefully no one will try to abuse…
Something so fragile and fatefully bruised

When will they finally see? There’s something inside of me…
That often breaks and bleeds, but it always sets me free.

So I am a prisoner even though on the run…
Caged by my conscience, my scrupulous son
They didn’t believe me when I said you can’t win…
They’ll sell you a victory if you’re buying in.

When will I finally see?
There’s something inside of me
…that’s all I ever need,
and that’s who I want to be.

While she often draws comparisons to PJ Harvey, Lou Reed & Patti Smith, Randi definitely has a voice of her own. ... more
