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
