There’s a wound inside of me
It is open and it bleeds
I’ve got a wound inside of me
But not everybody sees

I’ve got a wound inside of me
My blood spilling like a creek
Failed to close it, failed to heal
That wound inside of me

It keeps me going
It makes me run
It keeps me moving on

It pumps the rhythm
It reigns the beat
Until it drains internally
That wound inside of me

I don’t blame anybody’s deeds
So don’t you lay the blame on me
Share your wound, take the leap
Brave the threat of self-conceit

I may forget it for a minute
I may consider it complete
But faster than your eyes can blink
This wound rips open again

It keeps me going
It makes me run
It keeps me moving on

It pumps the rhythm
It reigns the beat
Until it dries out naturally
That wound inside of me

I’ve got a wound inside of me
I don’t deny it or conceal
I even found a hidden meaning
Forgotten wisdom to reveal

Of a spirit to conceive
Sunken deep down in the seas
About a child and its needs
The right and left side of your cheeks

It keeps me going
It makes me run
It keeps me moving on

It pumps the rhythm
It reigns the beat
Until it drains organically
That wound inside of me
