I wish I could reach out I wish I could scream out I wish that someone could hear my silent screaming Flat line of my soul, I'm on the floor The darker the dream, the darker the sky I look up and I see Something in the moonlight of the shadows in my head Give into the silence of emotions that I dread I'll raise hell in my mind I'll raise hell in my mind I try to weather the pain I try, but it's always the same I try, but I'm always the obstacle in the way Turn it inside out Let the secret out The darker the dream, the darker the sky I look up and I see Something in the moonlight of the shadows in my head Give into the silence of emotions that I dread I'll raise hell in my mind I'll raise hell in my mind Memories I wanna forget Welcome my darkest hour Welcome my darkest hour Memories I wanna forget I wanna forget Something in the moonlight of the shadows in my head Give into the silence of emotions that I dread I'll raise hell in my mind I'll raise hell in my mind
