Emotional Riot

Scream!

    Only on the inside though. 

    Don't let it out or they'll all know. 

    Don't let them see you fall apart. 

    Don't let them know you've got a heart. 


Cry.....

    But only when you're all alone. 

    Smile and have a happy tone. 

    Don't say how you really feel. 

    Pretend that what they say is real. 


Hide....

    To keep yourself safe from pain. 

    They won't know that you're not sain. 

    Lose yourself inside your head. 

    Hoping soon that you'll be dead. 


Surrender.....

    Any hope you've held on to, 

    Dreams you know won't come true. 

    Love is nothing but a lie. 

    They only love you when you die. 


Embrace.....

    The anger, feel the rage! 

    Release your demons from their cage! 

    Let the darkness take your light. 

    Don't resist or try to fight. 


Scream!

    But know that you will not be heard. 

    Silence won't be misunderstood. 

    Pretend that you still have a choice. 

    Choices gone, you lost your voice. 


Fade.....

    Away now almost gone. 

Fade.....

    To darkness, no more dawn. 

Fade....

    Away forevermore. 


Fade..........
