Sometimes expression is not enough, for you feel the yells and the screams are never loud enough.
It doesn't not matter how it gets rough, for when you turn around the silence of your help cuts
So deep you can no longer feel. No matter how many times you attempt to awake this is real.
Nightmares are just a joke compared to this reality
My thoughts toward myself make horror movies look PG 13
No matter how I scream this crowd cannot see me
They say I need help but I need salvation from you
They say I need these things but all I need is you
They will send me away to lock me up yet I am trapped here in this rut
I fear it doesn't matter how much I fight
For you are my Freddy you'll find me tonight
Though I may scream and beg for your help
I see this glass is too thick to hear my yelp
In the mirror I find faith in mine, a heart of stone with pain entwined with love
Torn from roots you'll see my heart is numb like my mind wishes to be.
