Bob Catley Scream
There's a line of speech inside us
Each is different yet the same
And it lies in wait, to shine, to say
"It's over" once again
It seems to me, such a tragedy
That love should have to end
So I've learned to see, just "I and me"
My one and only friend
It's a tribute to the thousands
Who have loved and lost in vain
Love is born and yet to my regret
It always dies in pain
It seems to me that reality
Has let me down again
As the daylight sleeps, the silence greets
My one and only friend
My one and only friend
My one and only friend
You bring me down
You never listen to a single word I say
I'm just an echo in your ears you cast away
Once again
To a long forgotten place inside your heart
But I know it's not the same
For even now
You never ever clear a space or time for me
In spite of everything I've loved you faithfully
Can't you see
That I thought my love was safe inside your heart
Don't you throw it all away
When I scream inside, I scream
To god, I scream, "Don't tease me any more"
When I scream inside, I scream
"I'm only made of flesh and bone"
When I scream inside, I scream
To god, I scream, "Don't bleed me any more"
When I scream inside, I scream
"I'll perish, I will turn to stone"
Be anything but all alone
You can be cruel
I knew you'd welcome every chance to break the rules
And when you're running out of broken-hearted fools
Then you're gone
Like an apparition feeding on the hearts
That you break along the way
I couldn't see
It's only now I realise what blind can be
And now you've finally overstepped the line for me
We were one
But I'm better off without you from now on
Say goodbye, don't hesitate
When I scream inside, I scream
To god, I scream, "Don't tease me any more"
When I scream inside, I scream
"I'm only made of flesh and bone"
When I scream inside, I scream
To god, I scream, "Don't bleed me any more"
When I scream inside, I scream
"I'll perish, I will turn to stone"
Be anything but all alone
When I scream inside, I scream
To god, I scream, "Don't tease me any more"
When I scream inside, I scream
"I'm only made of flesh and bone"
When I scream inside, I scream
To god, I scream, "Don't bleed me any more"
When I scream inside, I scream
"I'll perish, I will turn to stone"
Be anything but all alone
What a world is this when joy and bliss
Turn sour just the same
It's a precipice, a final kiss
Extinguishes the flames
In a carnival of a life where the
Excitement never ends
Just for now I'll sit in silence with
My one and only friend
My one and only friend
My one and only friend
