Screaming At the Wall

I’m upset and I don’t know why No one listens or cares anyway Chanting and screaming in my head “How dare you feel this dread-dread” I hate who I am and who I am to become…God’s forever-lost lamb I’m okay and dragging on with life Hating on me…oh damn…oh damn… And yet, it cuts me like a knife… Lost in a paradise no one can understand How can I make a stand? Make a stand? Stay strong even when you’re at the wrong…I write for you… I fed the fire of inner desire Ignoring the times when I felt vulnerable Revengeful, but trying not to act foolish… But, sorry, I am… And I can’t change who I am I love who I am and who I am to become…God’s forever-lost lamb I’m okay and dragging on with life Hating on me…oh damn…oh damn… And yet, it cuts me like a knife… Lost in a paradise no one can understand How can I make a stand? Make a stand? You’re handsome and strong as hell And, well, I am not what you call an Adele But, I try…but, I try…to believe in myself But, I was tossing and turning on my lonely shelf We can’t change what has happened Screaming at the wall, Giving it my all Screaming at the wall, Giving it my all Screaming…dreaming…floating… Tumbling down like Jerusalem’s wall… But, I mustn’t give up and just stand tall Through it all I love who I am and who I am to become…God’s forever-lost lamb I’m okay and dragging on with life Hating on me…oh damn…oh damn… And yet, it cuts me like a knife… Lost in a paradise no one can understand How can I make a stand? Make a stand? I love who I am and who I am to become…God’s forever-lost lamb I’m okay and dragging on with life Hating on me…oh damn…oh damn… And yet, it cuts me like a knife… Lost in a paradise no one can understand How can I make a stand? Make a stand? I wish I can love myself a little more No more tears…no more tears… I swore in my heart I love being an attention whore Fade away, shattered years… Disappear, shattered years… I love who I am and who I am to become…God’s forever-lost lamb I’m okay and dragging on with life Hating on me…oh damn…oh damn… And yet, it cuts me like a knife… Lost in a paradise no one can understand How can I make a stand? Make a stand? I love who I am and who I am to become…God’s forever-lost lamb I’m okay and dragging on with life Hating on me…oh damn…oh damn… And yet, it cuts me like a knife… Lost in a paradise no one can understand How can I make a stand? Make a stand?
