Show Me You
Show me your shadows
Your demons left unseen
Open up your sorrow
And all your unanswered dreams
Share with me your fears
The truth I desire to see
Rather than what you show
The product of your editing
Share with me your hell
The chaos you live in by day
Let me see what darkness does
Especially when you can't be seen
Let me witness your unchecked tears
The truth I desire to see
Rather than what you show
The product of your editing
Show me how you lose control
And how you fall apart
Show me how you fix yourself
Especially when no one else can
Let me watch how you survive
The truth I desire to see
Rather than what you show
The product of your editing
Take me through your past
Let me see where you've been
Stop to see what you missed
Show me how you lived then
Introduce me to who you used to be
The truth I desire to see
Rather than what you show
The product of your editing
Show me who you are now
And how you got to today
Share with me how you changed
And what you had to beat
How did you keep going?

Deep stuff... Exposing one so completely
isn't an easy thing, so I hope you get your desires

A really well structured plea for honesty. You exhort who sounds to be a repressed individual to loosen up and share rather than hoard his secrets. Then you adopt this cool voice in saying "Rather than what you show / The product of your editing." I hope he isn't editing what he hears as well.
