I turn up the music
to drown out the yelling
I stare at the sky
and wish I could fly
away from this hell
away from this pain
away from this life that is killing me

I want to live in a fairy tale
where there are no problems or pain
everyone is perfect and happy
and there's never storms or rain

I put my head between my knees
and squeeze the headphones against my ears
I want to scream louder than everybody else
but I let the music do it for me
The beat of the drums matches my heartbeat
and the sound of the guitar tears through my body

the music is loud
but the screams are louder
I look out the window but the stars are gone

complete black........

just like my heart.
