A Crying Out

I tear my eyes out but I can't unsee
The memories that haunt the inside of me
All I want is to make it end
With the voices I cannot make amends

A bloody war inside my mind
The part of me that once was kind
Torn to shreds by the world around
People who should to hell be bound

I'd give everything to have it erased
Burn it all and in it's place
A girl who still could see the light
Who had no concept of cold winter nights

But this isn't a film, there's no rewind
I hope one day that I can find
A way to cope with all the pain
That forever will with me remain
