The Void
Scream
Run- Scream
Scream
Run- Hide
Scream, Scream
No where is safe
Screaam
Voices, voices
Everywhere, can't escape
Voices
pulling me this way and that
Voices, inticing voices
Stop!
Listen, pulling you in
pulling me in
Resist
Scream- Run
Hide
Who can I trust?
Where can I go?
How do I escape?
Listen, but find the truth
(usually in the form of a whisper)
Find it
with every fiber of you being
Scream
Release your barbaric yawp
back into the decaying void of
monotonous, droning human life
Release it!
Be free,
feel the weight released like a cannon!
When we can't be free,
can't breathe,
can't fight,
can't go on,
can't return,
can't be,
can't, just can't
SCREAM!
Reach into the unknown
and pull out Hope
Love for those who can't
Fight for those who can't
Help those who can't
Feel your heart pounding in your chest
Blood rushing to your ears
Breathes fill your lungs to capacity
Scream,
don't hide
don't run,
face it
(whatever it may be)
head on, don't back down
And feel alive
for the first time in forever.
Never-
say can't
