Im screaming
Hello, can you help me?
Hello, I belive we've met before
I'm screaming
And no one's listening
No one cares
Im the trifle of the evening,
I can see his eyes are elsewhere as he stares
The stars no longer sing to me
Riches are no longer sweet
Light does not fall upon my vacant mind
Music plays around me, people laugh and chatter
But all is dark inside me, and I no longer matter
Hello. Im screaming.
Ah-ha... I know you hear me
But you look the other way and smile for all to see
Your falseness makes me wonder
Why cant I just slip under?
Under the waves that are so deep
Beckoning me to forever sleep.
I stand now on a railing, all that keeps me here
Im waiting for my blood to quicken, Im waiting for the fear
I'm crying. But its hollow. Nothing changes.
I am numb.
Then I saw you.
You asked me with your eyes.
Why am I crying?
I reply its because of their lies
You nod your head, you understand,
You take me by the hand
You lead me away from darkness
Away from oppressive cloud,
And show me you heard meyelling aloud
We danced and laughed, I lived again
You quickened my blood with you kiss,
You saved me and then did it over again -I have you to thank for this
I became who I was inside, and always will be now,
Im so grateful you showed me how.
I fell in love, I'll never fall back out
I live my life because now I have no doubt
Of the power of a promise.
You opened doors I didn't even see
You held me high and you loved me.
I love you still, thought your heart beats no more
You lie forever still on the ocean floor
But years it seems cannot dim the light
That shines from your memory every day and every night
And time cannot fade the picture in my mind
So clear as glass, so polished and shined
When life leaves me, as I know it will,
I'll have you to thank for the life I have lived
We will meet again
And all will be as was before
For part of my heart still lies with you
At the bottom of the ocean floor.
