Screaming Shadow

And I sing
And I scream
And I cry out loud
Something inside breaks....

Black and blue inside healing wounds
Opened and scabbed and closed again
Fresh blood flows as the rage gives wave
Never forgetting and feeling the anger below

Believe in me the strength to succeed and love
And above all else, love myself and my family
Somethings never forgotten like nightmares
Never letting go of the unhealthiness

Wrapped around me like an invisible tarp
Closed off inside and watching the world within
Silently screaming as my body is paralyzed and silent
I want to be free from this grasp and greedy shadow consuming

I scream
I roar
and want something more

Alone and lonely but not really at all
That silent voice tells me otherwise
Brings me down from within
The spy aims to win

Never having that full control needed to win
Letting that fear take a hold of me and the best of me
Why not let go and take control and to go with the flow
The shadow's manipulation tries to shift my views and win

Stay on the road ahead and sobriety will win above all
Take that conviction, that control and live and love
I know that strength exists and lives hidden
Come break me out of my shell and thrive

I contemplate
I sleep
It is never too late.

My empire of dirt

Feel it crawling in under the skin
The rage that wants to explode
A single tear creates the way
Desire to let go, desire to be freed

Pressure builds up, it hurts inside
Want to yell, scream, punch
Shadow suffocates me and grins
Shadow suffocates me and wins

Depression flanks the armies in sight
Battle after battle, starting to tire
Win, win, win... lose.. fight
Never giving up on my watch, no

Something inside me cries out
Just want to be wanted
Just want to be desired
Just want to be cuddled

This loneliness consumes unnecessarily
Stand strong, wipe away those tears
I am no super woman
Be happy on my own, so simple
(but it is not)

Pressure builds up, it hurts inside
Want to yell, scream, punch
Shadow suffocates me and grins
Shadow suffocates me and wins

My lips reach for the bottle
Drown deep at the bottom
My body fights with all energy
It will not take a hold of me

Nothing hurts like my own pain
I hurt myself today and survive
I hurt myself today and everyday
I hurt myself today and grin

Dig myself out of my perceptual hole
Grin and bear, wear that smile proud
Hide the sensitivity, hide the pain
Deal with it secretly, no one has to know

Pressure builds up, it hurts inside
Want to yell, scream, punch
Shadow suffocates me and I grin
Shadow suffocates me and I win
