Scream
Sanity hanging on a thread
Time messed up
Struggling in my bed
Grabbing my head
I should be resting
But I'm suffering instead
The hand strokes past another number
The clock keeps moving
But I can't shut my eyes
Surrounded by darkness
I'm alone in the emptiness
Everyone else has drifted away
To their dreams
But here I lay
In my screams
Rolling in my misery
Cursing at myself
Burying my head in the pillows
All I want is to slip away
Drag me off my bed
Pull me into a dream
Drag me off my bed
Pull me into a dream
Grab me by my feet
Nothing sweet about a scream
Surrounded by darkness
I'm alone in the emptiness
Everyone else has drifted away
To their dreams
But here I lay
In my screams
Grab me by my feet
Drag me off my bed
When I scream its the only source of heat
I need a new place to rest my head
To rest my head, the things I would do
I'd strangle myself to slip away to sleep
To slip away to sleep
To sleep
