SIlent Screams Lyrics

WITHOUT MY TONGUE AND MY LUNGS, I SILENTLY SCREAM

AS A CHILD I WAS TOLD STORIES OF THE WORLD OF OLD
A NAIVE PLACE THAT SPIRALLED UNCONTROLLED
AN AGE OF WAR, OF HATE, OF SIN
INTOLERANCE OF OUR OWN KIN
THIS WAS A BATTLE WHERE NO-ONE WINS

SO, DON'T LET IT TAKE ITS TOLL
I SWEAR IF I HOLD ONE MORE WORD, I WILL EXPLODE

NOW AS MY OWN LIFE UNFOLDS
REALIZE THIS WORLD THAT I'VE BEEN SOLD
IS NO DIFFERENT FROM THOSE TALES OF OLD

WHY DO I SING A DIFFERENT SONG?
I MARCH ALONG TO MY OWN DRUM
IS IT THEM OR AM I WRONG?

IT SEEMS THERE WAS A LESSON FOR US TO LEARN
I WANT TO TAKE MY FRUSTRATIONS AND BREAK OUT
BUT MY THOUGHTS ARE TRAPPED INSIDE OF ME
THIS IS MY PERSONAL HELL
MY CONFINED MIND IS BROKEN ON THE GROUND
I SILENTLY SCREAM

SILENT SCREAMS TRY TO ESCAPE ME, BUT THEY'RE BLOCKED BY A WALL OF FEAR
LEAVING ME TO DROWN IN ANGER AND KEEP THIS PSYCHO IN CHAINS
MUSCLES TENSING, TOO MUCH BLOOD IN MY VEINS
