I've stared into the abyss,
For so long,
I fear its looking back at me,

Realizing all the thoughts,
I'm too afraid, to speak,

Digging into me,
Learning more with every,
Tear that falls,

I've been staring into the abyss for so long,
It knows me,
It knows my story,

It knows all the secrets,
I tried so hard to keep,

All the haunting memories,
I tried so hard to erase,

And it knows of these words,
How I scribbled them across the page,
With tears running down
My cheeks

optimism is setting in,
because all the bright words you've said,  
are finally sinking in,
i see the world for what it is,
all the oppurtunities that can be taken,
if you don't let others, or even yourself,
bring you down,
so let me dream of a better day,
like a strong woman,
i refuse to back down,
so sing a song and live for today,
so many oppurtunities can come your way,
as long as no one, not even yourself,  
brings you down.

Scream,
Just let it all out,
All that anger you couldn't shake before,
Just scream, make that anger a memeory,
Scream, like it will never end,
Just scream, jump off the deep end,
Scream, nothing can stop you,
From expressing such anger,
Please people, give humanity a riveting call of anger,
Throw a riot, start a banter,
Make people see how delusional they can be,
That they're missing out on the depression that they created,
Scream, and let people know, that you're alive,
Alive and fighting,
For all things to be right,
Scream and let people know they have to fight,
Let them know they're not alone,
Just scream, scream out vengance
Let the anger float to the heavens, and let them know,
Things aren't too good down here,
That they're lucky to be there,
Just scream, scream it to the world,
That they need to change their ways, before its too late,
Just **scream

Like walking on water,
It's an illusion you see,
They try to confuse you,
Because they don't want you to see,
All the bad choices they've made,

Thats right,
I'm talking about government,
And this massacre that has been created,
All in hope of a better tommorow,
But instead, we face hell, today,

So don't believe a thing they say,
They're all out to get you anyway,
And this may be cynical, or even pessimistic,
But darling, someone needed to speak the truth
Some day,
So why not today.
