Trust Me, You're Alive (An Original Song Collection)

9. Screams of a Thousand Years

Screams of a Thousand Years by In Plain Sight

Every single part of me

Is something that used to be

The enemy

INSTRUMENTAL

where's my head?

Must've left it on my deathbed

Oh well, nothing to think about

Not the pain or the silent shouts

I'm gonna collapse, I'm almost out

Don't take this from me now

CHORUS

I'm drowning on dry land

I'm playing along without my hands

And everything is black and white

So tell me, where's the light?
-

Cursing the slain

Blaming anything (anyone) for my pain

But I'm the only one who the guilt can claim

Can't put an innocent man on death row

That's just not how this goes

I can still remember the last word I said

'Please'

And I said it to me

CHORUS
I'm drowning on dry land

I'm playing along without my hands

And everything is black and white

So tell me, where's the light?
-

where did you hide it

I can't find the light in a room that's lit

The earth rumbling beneath my feet

Slows me down, make me weak

It reveals all I am and gives back my ability to speak

And I still remember the screams

Of a thousand years of silent pain

All coming out as I sat in the crying rain

But still,

CHORUS
I'm drowning on dry land

I'm playing along but without my hands

And everything is simply black and white

So tell me, where's the light?
- 

It's been here the whole time

Hiding in the corner my eye

In plain sight
