The Scream Within
Way in the back of my darkened closet
In behind the hanging unused clothes
Youll find me crouched down on my knees
Hiding from Inner torment no one knows.
I clasp my hands tightly over my ears
To drown out the constant high pitch roar
I beg to God thru streams of tears
I just cant take it anymore.
The tender heart within my soul
Screams for just a morsel of inner peace
Sometimes hours and days go missing
Until i collapse and find release.
I used to drown it out with firewaters
Until i numbed myself to sleep
But it had a vice grip on my dreams
Where the nightmares run to deep.
My God dear Lord of Mercy
Please hear my desperate pleas
Please come and rescue me from me
Please come and set me free.
