The music flows through the mind.
It flies in between the hatred and despair.
The beat rocks the soul to sleep,
And the words heal the forgotten injuries.

The music of life calms my soul.
It washes over my thoughts,
And the memories seem to fade away
As all my feelings are renewed.

But then this sweet world seems to disappear;
The happiness fades with the volume.
The smile fades with the song,
And everything is silent.

Screaming across a barren land,
The wind slows life to a struggle.
Screaming from atop a jagged peak,
The air swallows up the words.
Screaming from below the waves,
The water fills every void.

Screaming through life,
Screaming across the years,
Screaming between the relationships,
Screaming and falling apart.

Bursting at the seams,
Pulling and straining on an invisible load.
Disappearing into the blackness,
Searching for something lost.

Screaming throughout it all,
The thoughts are everlasting.
Screaming unheard words of despair,
Rotting and eating away at the soul.
Screaming through a mask,
And finding that no one is listening.

Empty words with inflated emotions,
Invisible tears which fall everyday,
Finding new things as they are lost,
Life is a forgotten struggle,
Lost in this world of confusion.
Lost among the days of happiness,
And intermixed with the times of loneliness.
Face it all; face the despair,
Face the pain; face the anger,
Face the forgotten dreams; face it all.
The empty thoughts remain,
Joined by an empty heart.
