I Want To Scream

Under starlight shining
I want to scream alone tonight
The shadows talk of childish things
That lay around my careful home

Conversation stops dead in the dead of the day
Not quite sure if I like it that way
No more rumours around town now
Check on the time it hasn't changed
Tables and chairs are still arranged
I try to think of past events
A childhood love that was heaven sent
But it's not

Face contorts a rubber mask
But I'm well matched up to the farce
The windows allow a cruel blue light
I close my eyes, the light's too bright

Phone doesn't ring, no intrusion from outside
Wall paper shapes just a bit too bold
Turn away from the wall now
Check on the time it hasn't changed
Tables and chairs are still arranged
I try to think of past events
A childhood love that was heaven sent
But it's not

Under starlight shining white
I want to scream alone tonight
The shadows talk of childish things that are done for

My face bends like a rubber mask
I believe I'm well matched up to the farce
But the lights in my eyes are cruel and blue
That will do me

Don't look out or beyond
Calm in this my traitor's death
Cold and empty like the bells
Now there's nothing left to sell
That will do me
