Silent Scream
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
White dress, torture in discuise, pointing flashlight right into my eyes
Sharp pain every single night-, every day I fight a hopeless fight
I look, over thirty years, ive wished that I was dead
Somebody help me out, because I'm tied down to my bed.
I'm looking for someone to release me
I'm waiting for an angel from my dreams
I'm talking to all of you around me
I'm asking you-tell me can u hear my silent scream.
Dear God, gave me such a life
full of pain, its sharp just like a knife
I can think, but I cannot tell,
Wots life to you, to me is hell
I hear the storm outside-first drop just hit the roof
id die to see the rain, but I can not, can not move.
I'm looking for someone to release me
I'm waiting for an angel from my dreams
I'm talking to all of you around me
I'm asking you-tell me can u hear my silent scream.
If living is my cross, so let me die, or crucify me now,
but tell me can you hear my silent scream.
(Musical Interlude)
Time stayes still, only I can feel when the darkness will apear
Everyday, I've wished away, oh please, please take away my pain,
I'm looking for someone to release me
I'm waiting for an angel from my dreams
I'm talking to all of you around me
I'm asking you-tell me can u hear my silent scream.
Yea, yea, yea, yea.
