A cry for help
Life is cruel
Freezing and alone, I beg
I beg for mercy
“Life won’t show you any damn mercy”
He told me once and he told me twice
Punches were flying and they landed on me

Scream and cry it won’t do any good
No one can hear me and no one cares
Screaming from the inside
Life is cruel

I know you’re wrong, but I can’t prove it
I can’t get the words out
A spell was put on me to I can’t speak
I can’t take it, let me scream out loud
Someone will hear it, I’m sure of it
HELP ME! SOMEONE! ANYONE!
I need to speak but I can’t

I don’t know how I can speak
I can’t live this way
Life is unnatural and complicated
Living in this place makes me sick
Punches still fly, but I can’t stop them without speaking
Will someone teach me to speak?
