The screams, the shouts
That echo of the wall
The silence that fills my doubts
Is the loudest of them all
Who would’ve have knew
This would happen to me
My nightmares have come true
Why did it happen to me
Should I be glad
The hatred’s gone
Should I be mad
My family’s finally done
What should I do
Hide the pain away
What can I do
But bottle it all away
The courts come by
I make a choice
Should I just lie
Or hide my voice
The slam of the doors
The screams of anger
The silence comes back once more
My family is in danger
Who is that person
I don’t mean to whine
But is my life going to worsen
Because I want back what once was mine
Keep them away from me
I don’t want to see
This stupid reality
For it'll ruin my mentality
The tears run down my face
I lose all my sense
Is there a place
That can be my defense
The silence haunts me
I know the worst is to come
What could it be
Where is it going to come from
Life do you hate me
Bring me back my family
Please hear my plea
I want my family
Where did you go
Did you have to leave
Is this better though
Even if I can no longer believe
The courts come by
I wonder if I should lie
Would it save us
Or am I just making a fuss
It’s better this way right
Because no more tears will be openly shed
But then again the moonlight
Will show the tears that were unshed
The screams have stopped
The silence fuels my hope
The slam is slightly muffled and cropped
My heart won’t be able to cope
Who is that person there
I want them to go away
Send them far away from us
Tell them to bring me back what once was mine
God, save my family
Please here my plea
Save my family for me
Please here my hopeless plea
