The Deeper Wound

Verse 1
The truth is buried underneath....
You’re stepping on it....
So get off and dig it out....
You will find what you have been looking for....
And when you do, you will appreciate it....
It has been with you all this time....
There is no denying its existence....
You must feel lucky to have it....
Does that mean you will embrace it?....
I have nothing....
I have no one to call my own....
I feel jealousy towards you....

Verse 2
Sometimes I feel like giving up....
But I don’t ....
Other times I feel like winning....
But I won’t ....
They will tear me down....
They will wear me down....
I’ll be standing on my own....
You have everything....
You have someone to call your own....
I feel anger towards you....

Bridge
Having your heart broken is sad
Being pierced by an object is bad
But realizing that you have nothing is the deeper wound

Chorus
I can see you
You’re everywhere, but where am I?
I have searched but I come empty-handed
