Patti Masterman - There's something in us

There's something in us
Doesn't want to win,
Something doesn't wish to live,
Wants to throw the towel in early;
Something with nothing left to give.

There's something that’s much darker,
That we hide from light of day;
We never mention it in prayers,
And though it remain, invisibly-
We still see, in other's stares..
