I Don't Want To Talk (But I Have So Much To Say)

I don't want to talk

But I want you to listen

I don't have to explain

But I am on a mission

So I'll say what I have to

And be on my way

Whether you see me or not

I don't plan to stay

 

I'm mad at the world

And I think that's OK

I'm mad at myself

Why, I really can't say

I've been mad for a while

Though nobody knows

Since I was a child

It comes and it goes

 

I'm sad and I cry 

And I know thats OK

But I'm tired and shy

So I'm stuck in this cave

Here, my voice echoes 

But no one can hear

The darkness is blinding

So I cower in fear

 

I'm bent and it hurts

I don't know if I'll break

I've got scars and burns

That only time can make

There's a storm, a fire

A blaze in my heart

It once gave warmth to inspire

But can it tear me apart?

 

I an not broken

because I'm still here

I'm mad at the world

and I know my fear

I know where I am 

I know where I want to go

So I don't want to talk

But I had to let you know
