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.
