The words from my mouth are silent, But my tears scream your name.
Is anybody out there?
Is anybody listening?
No one takes notice Of the pain that I display.
How did I get here To this dark and lonely place?
I wish someone would pierce the veil.
I wish someone could lead me through.
I want someone to take my hand And for once see what I am going through.
I wish someone would find me here and save me from the pain.
I want it to be over soon.
I don't want to stay.

Empty souls around me carry on with their day.
They don't seem to notice the mask that's plastered on my face.
Ignorance is bliss to them, and they turn a blind eye.
Little do they know or care if I make it through the night.

The haunting sounds inside my head keep me from my dreams.
Two conflicting voices make a coward out of me.
Finally someone notices and pulls me into sight.
They cry fake tears regretfully and they tell me to fight.
I tell them I'm done with these silly thoughts and that I'm here to stay.
I tell them not to worry, tomorrow is a new day.

They think my fight is over,
That I've made it out all right.
Little do they know,
The same thoughts still haunt me at night.
