Tortured Soul

Tortured soul, my soul

I know it’s been a while.

Since I reached out to you

Since you smiled

I know that you started out

As the poster child for innocence

And it sickens me, it sickens me

How far I let you drift from it

From birth, you steered me in the right direction

You gave me that sense of right and wrong

Now it’s so blurred, I can barely see

See what’s right and what’s wrong for me

Tortured soul, my soul

Only I know how much angst you have

Cause I know I’m the greatest source

I know I’m the biggest force … behind it all

I know I’m the reason you can’t rest

I know I’m the reason you feel like giving in

I know I’m the reason for the test

I know I’m the reason for our sins

But that was never what I wanted for you

That much I swear is true

Cause truth be told, you’re so far from what you used to be

So far from me

Tortured soul, my soul

I need you to promise me something.

I need you to give me your word.

I need to know I’m heard.

I need you to stay close to her.

I need you to never let her go.                   

I need you to stay as far away from him.

I need you to let him know.

Cause there’s one thing we haven’t lost yet

I know it. I’m sure.

I need you to remain untainted, this soul of mine.

I need you to remain pure.
