Lyrics

Screaming Silence (The War Inside of Me)

Verse 1:
Heavy was the hand that held me down
An unbearable weight I still feel now
My attempts to communicate
All failed in the end

When I'd open my mouth
The right words never came to me
But it didn't matter what I'd say
When you weren't listening anyway

Chorus:
So the fight goes on
The silence has been screaming for so long
All this rage is building
The war inside of me

Verse 2:
My eyes blind to the consequence
Of suppressed feelings inside of me
On the road to self destruction
Time alone is spent with thoughts of you

So many days would pass by me
Just trying to get you to stop ignoring me
Crying out from within
All I wanted was for this war to end

Chorus:
So the fight goes on
The silence has been screaming for so long
All this rage is building
The war inside of me

Bridge:
For so long I've lived behind a mirror
You see yourself but you don't know I'm here
Release your grasp around my throat
Deliver me from this lonely silent world

Chorus:
So the fight goes on
The silence has been screaming for so long
All this rage is building
The war inside of me
