Silent Screams

When I wake up in the morning And I'm thinking which way is best To throw myself off buildings To land nicely on my head It might be time to rethink The direction of my path Take back control of the black hole That's swallowing my heart In a glass box staring out My words fall silent all around And you can't hear me scream for help My mouth unmoving drowns me out In a glass box staring out My words fall silent all around And you can't hear me scream for help My mouth unmoving drowns me out The pain deep in my chest I feel Is like a spreading vine Reaching out its tendrils Like a cancer in my mind Black like tar and thick like blood Seeps into every vein Fighting feels so futilе When it's paired with spreading shamе All the failure in my past And on it goes through everything The failure in the path I walk That voice of treason On, it sings I can't seem to block it out I'm lost, I'm lonely on my own The hissing bile it always spouts "I am nothing!" voices groan In a glass box staring out My words fall silent all around And you can't hear me scream for help My mouth unmoving drowns me out In a glass box staring out My words fall silent all around And you can't hear me scream for help My mouth unmoving drowns me out In a glass box staring out My words fall silent all around And you can't hear me scream for help My mouth unmoving drowns me out In a glass box staring out My words fall silent all around And you can't hear me scream for help My mouth unmoving drowns me out In a glass box (I'm trapped inside a glass box) Staring out (I'm trapped inside this box) My words fall silent (And you can't hear me scream) All around (Because nothing's coming out) And you can't hear me (I'm trapped inside a glass box) Scream for help (And I'm calling out your name) My mouth unmoving (But the silence keeps on falling) Drowns me out (While I can't escape my shame) In a glass box (I'm trapped inside a glass box) Staring out (I'm trapped inside this box) My words fall silent (And you can't hear me scream) All around (Because nothing's coming out) And you can't hear me (I'm trapped inside a glass box) Scream for help (And I'm calling out your name) My mouth unmoving (But the silence keeps on falling) Drowns me out (While I can't escape my shame)
