David William Breidenthal Poet Lyric

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?
