Kicking, Screaming

Chaos erupting Kicking, screaming Dogs barking Smash, thud Kicking, screaming Believing I can have more More than this Kicking, screaming Is not all there is All I'm born for Desperate Hurt Trapped No emergency exit Kicking, screaming Because I believe there is More than kicking, screaming He calmly points Sneers Shows the entrance to A greater hell In his desperate hope To control Fearing Kicking and screaming That may let the world know Battered Tortured On the edge of a grave Where hope was pushed in Where hope climbed out Kicking and screaming No end in sight Can't imagine any other life Beaten down so hard Kicking, screaming With kicks so weak no more than a twitch Where screams are reduced to a silent whisper Those kicks and screams all that's left Kicking and screaming The only thing Keeping me alive Kicking, screaming.
