This would be sung with the melody of Metallica's "Unforgiven", but with teh refrain having the melody from "Unforgiven 2"

Tear Away

Tell me what you see
When you look inside of me
Pull back my veil of fear
For all the world to see
My secrets laid to bare
And put on glass display
Do you see this man of steel?
Or do you see this
Troubled child within
Or do you see the scars
That levitate away
The memories that say

What you see, inside of me
A Shadow sown of sympathy
A hated wraith, that haunts me every day

All I've felt, all I've known
Never showed me where to go
The tears I shed for the life I threw away
As my veil is torn away

A look that you call love
A light that blinds my eyes
The choked back truth reveals
Your felt unspoken lies
An understanding smile
Goodnight italic kiss
A desperate last attempt
To bring to grips this
Damn misguided heart
Perhaps its time you start
Denying how you feel
Or show me which is real

What I see inside of you
A neverending rape of truth
When will it end?  Will you do this every day?

What I felt, inside my heart
Electric letter blown apart
The tears I shed for the soul I gave away
As the blindfold falls away.
