I'm not screaming
I'm just screaming
I'm not screaming
I'm just screaming
Like a lightning bolt through my chest,
I'm falling
Still falling
Running
Still running
Hiding
Not hiding
I'm-
Hiding
Not hiding
I'm falling
On the ground
Not falling
To the floor
Not kneeling
On my knees
Posessed by a sudden stroke of inspiration
Now it's time to make my thoughts
Bleed out in the form of these words
Writing
I'm still writing
Hurting
I'm not hurting
Fearing
Still fearing
Hearing
Not hearing
Oh, oh, oh,
On, on, on, on
Goes the storm outside
Close the door
And stay here forever now
Oh,
I'm breathing
Still breathing
Dying
Not dying
Living
Still living
What is living
Oh
I'm here
I'm here
Why am I here?
Meaning and empathy
Running away now
Giving in now
Oh
I'm still praying
Still hurting
Not hurting
Seeing
Not seeing
Anything
Anything
As it truly is
No
Freeing,
Come free me
Caged now
Can you see me?
Still leading
Not leading
The way
No No No
I'm not lying
Not lying
Still lying
Do you hear the words
Listen out as I scream then aloud
I'm screaming not screaming
Still screaming
Your name
As it disappears
Through the night
As it all wears thin
As it hurts my skin...
Oh, is it all within?
Oh, oh, now
A faded song in the night
Not singing
Still singing
These words
If you'll hear them
Now
