Scream Lyrics

Makes me want to scream, scream, scream

Scream for the love that you couldn't ever find

As a child or a man or a member of a clique

Or a freak of nature

That stands by itself in this concrete wilderness

And moans and groans in silent desperation

Scream, scream

I fill up my lungs with the purest of air

And belch out the stench of inaction, lies and despair

When will I acknowledge my name, my own

And not of someone else's doing

Makes me want to scream, scream, scream

Scream for the things that I thought I really wanted

I really wanted them until I really could have got them

When they leap into my hands

And I toss them all away for a dream

Of something better and the only thing I end up with

Is just a pair of empty hands

Scream, scream

I fill up my lungs with the purest of air

And belch out the stench of inaction, lies and despair

Angry feelings reach for me to caress my emptiness

Grasping at nothing, holding nothing

Makes me want to scream, scream, scream

Scream for the day when you were too afraid

To deal with anything that smelled of conflict

Afraid that your little world would shatter against the wall

And you would wander around in a constant state of anxiety

And helplessness

Yes, and I fill up my lungs with the purest of air

And belch out the stench of inaction, lies and despair

I feel guilty for something I never did

And it eats me inside, and it eats me alive

Makes me want to scream, scream, scream, scream
