Scream

Hey, what's with all this silence.
Hey, like me is it driving you nuts.
I feel like I'm drowning.
I, say it's time we stand up.
I, think they wanna keep us in this rut.
The rules of this world are to constricting.

Just scream, Let them know your alive.
Just scream, tell them all about your side.
Scream and let the heavens above hear you.
So scream, let them know who you are
Scream, let the world know you have come this far.
Just scream and I'll come and join you.

No, we won't hear you words of indecision.
No, you can't leave until you listen.
We've grown tired of your lies.
Yes, you can hear glass breaking.
Yes, these are our hands shaking.
All our rage from the inside.

Truth, something they won't speak or hear.
Truth, has been absent for so many years.
Why can't they stop lying.
Exposed, we can see now who they  are.
Exposed, the light has run out in their star.
We can see now they're all crying.

Just scream, let them know your alive.
Just scream, tell them all about your side.
Scream and let the heavens above hear you.
So scream, let them know who you are.
Scream, let the world know you have come this far. 
Just scream, and I'll come and join you.
