Scream

A little honesty for your drama

Heavy words

Light tongue

Aching soul

You share with me

**

Beat on my walls

They won’t break

Not for you

Better than you have tried

**

Carelessly hurl your thought

They scream as they approach

They die at my fortress keep

I am walled in too tight

**

You're desperate for attention

You won’t get it here

Go cry somewhere else

Your tears mean nothing to me

**

Quell your drama

Grow the fuck up

Not everyone is against you

Most don’t even know you’re alive!

**

So, go fill someone else’s ears

Go break someone else’s heart

Go spread your poison elsewhere

I don’t need what you have to offer
