Inside I Shout

Inside I Shout
To the tune of:
[Bleed it Out by Linkin Park]

Yeah, here we go for the hundredth time,
I'm deep inside my twisted mind,
I can't defeat what's grown inside,
Festered like my need to lie.


In my head, I retreat,
I see your face and know defeat.
Desperate now a hand I seek,
To pull me from the deepest sea.


Anyone can stop and stare,
You won't see 'motions anywhere,
But I still am so deep in there,
Anyways, don't think you'd care


Yeah, no one sees the sin,
I'm back in the abyss again,
But not for long, that I swear,
Just have to keep the demons in.


Inside I shout,
Slipping deeper, no, push it away,
Inside I shout,
Slipping deeper, gotta find my own way,
Inside I shout,
Slipping deeper, gotta go my own way,
Gonna show me some pain?
No don't show any pain


Inside I shout.
Forced, are my words,
"I'm sorry babe, I know it hurts,
But here, sit inside this hearse."


I inherited your curse.
Looking back I hope you see, 
What it is you've done to me,
Though I know you had to leave;


I don't blame you,
Doomed were we.
I, couldn't see your eyes.
We both told our fair share of lies.
Half the words don't mean a thing,


But you know I had to try.
I'll die, 'fore the demons win,
And while I'm glad I let you in,
I'm back in the abyss again,
Just have to keep the demons in.


Inside I shout,
Slipping deeper, no, push it away,
Inside I shout,
Slipping deeper, gotta find my own way,
Inside I shout,
Slipping deeper, gotta go my own way,
Gonna show me some pain?
No don't show any pain


Inside I shout,
I hope you know I'm fine,
I don't need your love.
Don't take this as a sign.
"Forwards never back"

Dear Davis, this is one very impressive song!! Although it's not music I listen to, your synchronicity with the music is outstanding. It's such a fast paced tune to fill. Huge congrats on your placement in the contest and on achieving such a brilliant piece. Thank you for entering the contest. :-D
