When the World Screams

Let the weakness set in this world I know

Days cannot hold me, I blur in between

Never fully engaged, the mind races between words

As far as I can get, away from it all

When indecision ends, can life begin again?

I am silence when the world screams out

I am escape when you reach out to me

I am panic, I am fear behind these walls that protect me

I am failure and resistance

I am lost where I belong

I am silence when the world screams

My insecurity extends to others talking about themselves

Fed with this poison of self-righteous false confidence

It's in their eyes, it's in our lives

Set to the tune of darkness, this is one to hold

I cannot stop insanity from chasing down my thoughts

Linger in the mind for what now seems indefinite time

My mind is holding, is holding me down

When indecision ends, can life begin again?

I am silence when the world screams out

I am escape when you reach out to me

I am panic, I am fear behind these walls that protect me

I am failure and resistance

I am lost where I belong

I am silence when the world screams
