Before the Word

shut me out no more screaming and yelling has always been my llulaby if you see me at night you'll see me cry falling apart hate isn't even a good description love doesn't even exsist anymore this place is a cage a prison that drives you insane its the blood that is invisible to the world its the tear that floods the sea that swallows you whole, the screaming that makes you deaf and numb, but the yelling is like an old song like a broken record a wound on the heart a wound on the heart that never stops how many wounds will the heart take till its had enough, how many tears can fall into the sea before life was never a word, before time standa still before silence is all you hear before yelling and screaming was a lyric to your llulaby consuming every part of you my llulaby is scared into my heart I'll never know what it's like without my song or before the word
