You Scream at Me

It’s four in the morning

The voices in my head

Won’t let me sleep,

You scream at me.

I try to talk to you

You won’t listen to me

The more I say,

You scream at me.

I didn’t get it right

Again I tried,

You say that I didn’t,

You scream at me.

I say control your temper,

Don’t have to

Raise your voice,

You scream at me.

I say I didn’t mean it,

And try to explain,

I don’t want to hear it,

You scream at me.

Mental anguish, despair,

I have to keep going,

You say get over it,

You scream at me.

I thought it was me,

I quit drinking,

Ten years have gone by,

You scream at me.

Trapped by life,

It’s too late to leave,

You can’t go anywhere,

You scream at me.

What can I do

To make things better,

You just don’t get it,

You scream at me.

I guess it’s all my fault,

I stayed here this long,

You know it is,

You scream at me.

It’ four in the morning,

The voices are back again,

 lay back down,

You scream at me.

I lie in the dark,

My mind races to think,

No peace today,

You scream at me.

I guess when I die,

Things may somehow change,

But I hear it now, why!

You scream at me.
