Silent Scream

(Don't close your eyes...)

(Not again...)

(Wake up... wake up...)

Every night the shadows know my name, (I know this place...)

Pull me back where nothing ever changed.

Cold hands reaching through the dark,

Finding every hidden scar.

I can feel the air inside my chest, (Breathe...)

Trying hard to catch one single breath.

Wide awake inside a dream,

Nothing's ever what it seems.

I open my mouth... (Please...)

But the silence wins.

I'm falling again...

Before sleep begins. (No... no...)

I'm screaming... (Can you hear me?)

But no sound ever leaves me.

I'm running... (Move... move...)

But my feet won't believe me.

Frozen underneath the weight

Of every ghost I couldn't escape.

I wake up drowning in the night...

But no one hears my silent fight.

Every heartbeat echoes through the room, (It's still here...)

Every doorway hides another truth.

Flashing lights and fading sight,

Trying hard to find the light.

I reach out for something that is real, (Don't leave me...)

Trying just to break the way I feel.

Every morning starts the same,

Carrying yesterday's pain.

I try to move...

But I'm trapped inside. (Wake up...)

A prisoner...

Of my own mind.

I'm screaming... (Can you hear me?)

But no sound ever leaves me.

I'm falling... (Don't let me go...)

While the darkness keeps me.

Hands won't move,

Eyes won't see,

Every nightmare swallowing me.

I wake before the morning light...

Still carrying the endless night.

If I could breathe... (Wake me...)

If I could speak...

Would anybody hear me?

If I could wake... (Please...)

Before I break...

Would somebody believe me?

I'm screaming... (Please hear me...)

Can anybody hear me now?

I'm reaching... (I'm still here...)

But I still don't know how.

Every sunrise hides the scars

The nightmares leave upon my heart.

One more night... (Not again...)

One more fight...

Maybe one day...

The silence will let me go.

(I'm still here...)

(Wake up...)

(Please... wake up...)

(...I'm awake?)
