To my mother, to my father It's your son or It's your daughter Are my screams loud enough for You to hear me, should I turn this up for you I sit here locked inside my head Remembering everything you said The silence gets us nowhere Gets us nowhere way too fast The silence is what kills me I need someone here to help me But you don't know How to listen And let me make My decision I sit here locked inside my head Remembering everything you said The silence gets us nowhere Gets us nowhere way too fast All your insults and your curses Make me feel like I'm not a person And I feel like I am nothing But you made me so Do something 'Cause I'm fucked up Because you all need attention Attention you couldn't give 'Cause, I sit here locked inside my head Remembering everything you said The silence gets us nowhere Gets us nowhere way too fast I sit here locked inside my head Remembering everything you said The silence gets us nowhere Gets us nowhere way too fast
