(This is about feeling hurt, pain etc but being too scared to say anything to anyone even though thats what you really want more than anything. I wrote this a few months after my fiance' passed away. It might be a little hard finding the flow of the song but it works when set to music)
Screaming into silence
There are two forces inside of me, fighting for my mind
One wants to cry out, it’s yelling your name, it needs what comfort it can find
The other force has a better grip, and will never see defeat.
It'll shut your mouth, it'll hide your pain, behind a mask you won’t see me.
(chorus 1)
Screaming out my pain
Exploding in fits of rage
Shouting in defiance
But all you hear is my silence
I haven’t always been this way. I once was happy when I was with her
Im sorry your gone, I wish it was me, the "what if's" a constant blur
I want to shout your name again, I want to tell of my heart you did steal
But the words won’t come out, im too full of guilt, I just won’t let myself heal
(Chorus 2)
Screaming out my pain
Exploding in fits of rage
Shouting in defiance
But all you hear is my silence
This time im not alright
My heart a rotting mess
My soul in a dirty pile
But it’s all masked by my smile
