         Dm
There is darkness and death in your eyes
What have you got buried inside?
      C               Cm
The shallow grave in your soul
                             B
The ghosts there have taken control

Chorus:
     Am                 G            F#m     F
You really should have dug a little deeper there
 Am              G           F#m        F
Body parts are starting to appear and scare
      Em          Dm
The child inside away

Each tear that flows down your face
Trickles then picks up the pace
And turns to a river inside
A river that will not subside

Chorus:
I can hear that dreadful overflowing sound
And watching from afar I see a child is drowned
The child inside your heart

Am
I can see you drifting away
Heading for the light
I can see you drifting away
F      Fm
Every night

Why were you always inside?
On days when the weather was fine
And while we were running around
You were nowhere to be found

Chorus:
You know you should have taken all your dolls to bed
Well you were made to play games with your soul instead
The child inside you died
