Scream

It's that hollow space inside
The ache goes on forever
The grave when inspiration died
The mark when hope was severed

And we fight to find again
A light to tear the shadow
To illuminate the cave
To sweep away the sorrow
To find our own reflection
In the lost hope of tomorrow

So we cover up the misery
We buy and covet pretty things
We paint over our own history
With cars and diamond rings

So we fight to find again
A light to tear the shadow
To illuminate the cave
To sweep away the sorrow
To find our own reflection
In the lost hope of tomorrow

And it's all we can do not to scream
And it's all we can do not to scream
And it's all we can do not to scream

If you wallow in the vapid
If you covet, steal and buy
If you focus on the shallow
If you never see the sky
If you constantly compare
Your possessions to another
If open-mouthed you stare
At the screen that's now your mother
Then perhaps if you are lucky
You'll no longer ache for dreams
And perhaps if you are lucky
You'll forget you need to scream

It's that hollow space inside
The ache goes on forever

And it's all we can do not to scream
And it's all we can do not to scream
And it's all we can do not to scream
