Just let it out

lose control

I know you know

what the future holds

the doctors have told you

they've read the charts

they've given you time

as if it were theirs to compart

Just let it out

lose control

cry your eyes out

make heads roll

all that's better

than you sitting there

so calm and composed

though your death is near

Just let it out

lose control

show some fear

before you go

Okay I'll admit

that fear is mine

you still sit there calm and composed

while I burn inside

I guess I didn't think

life could be so unfair

it makes me want to kick something

and pull my hair

maybe I should scream

scream instead

out loud this time

not just in my head

I'll let it out

I'll lose control

I'll scream my fear out

to the whole world

I'll show you I'm scared

scared for your life

I cry every day

and pray every night

and I just don't get

how you just accept

you've been sitting there calm and composed

and haven't screamed yet
