Lacerated

Sometimes, I just need someone to listen
Sometimes, I just need a shoulder to cry on
Sometimes, I just feel the need to scream
Sometimes, I need someone to save me from drowning
But out comes, the deafening silence keeps it all in


Please! Somebody help me
Please! Somebody save me
Please! Take away this agony


I'm not used to these emotions
They're coming down on me like a tsunami
They climb up my body and devour me
Inside I feel like I'm slowly dying
I'm lacerated!


I wish, I had the courage to say what needs to be said
I wish, there was someone who would understand
I wish, there was a life raft to pull me ashore
I wish, my feelings wouldn't set my face ignite
Unfortunately, those wishes are nothing but broken dreams


Help me! My heart is achin'
Help me! My soul is bleedin'
Help me! Relieve me of the pain


I'm not used to these emotions
They're coming down on me like a tsunami
They climb up my body and devour me
Inside I feel like I'm slowly dying
I'm lacerated!


Can't you see my distressed spirit?
Screaming out for someone to be my remedy?
I can't contain these feelings anymore
Please take the time to listen
I hope you'll understand what these feeling are


Please help me! My soul is screamin'
Please help me! My heart is burning
Please help me! Take away these feelings of sorrow

I'm not used to these emotions
They're coming down on me like a tsunami
They climb up my body and devour me
Inside I feel like I'm slowly dying
I'm lacerated!


I'm not used to these emotions
They're coming down on me like a tsunami
They climb up my body and devour me
Inside I feel like I'm slowly dying
I'm lacerated!


I'm not used to these emotions
They're coming down on me like a tsunami
They climb up my body and devour me
Inside I feel like I'm slowly dying
I'm lacerated!


Lacerated


Lacerated


Lacerated!

Author notes

This is a song of a person who has been "bottling up" their emotions and yearns to express them to someone who understands.
