Scream, Scream, Scream

A man is many things, let's count them all tonight You're letting go of strings, replacing them with light But they want the hit about the teenage take on pain There's nothing catchy 'bout the life of a saint But I've got this song in my head Cause it's breaking me down to tears... If I scream, scream, scream About a good man's life Would you ever stop and listen? Would you open up your eyes? Would you scream with me? Sing it sad and sweet Say goodnight, goodbye, love In the morning you will see Photos keep you close with increments of light The quiet wooden posts, the county's cold tonight But they want the hit aobut the teenage take on pain There's nothing catchy 'bout the life of a saint But I've got this song in my head Cause it's breaking me down to tears... If I scream, scream, scream About a good man's life Would you ever stop and listen? Would you open up your eyes? Would you scream with me? Sing it sad and sweet Say goodnight, goodbye, love In the morning you will see I'd rip my eyes out for you You're screaming at the cold I pull you close - you're asking why It's so dark tonight, I don't know why... If I scream, scream, scream About a good man's life Would you ever stop and listen? Would you open up your eyes? Would you scream with me? Sing it sad and sweet Would it make you cry? Would you finally see that All your lives are moments? All your words and closeness Keep you here and human Whispering tonight... And so we scream (all your lives are moments) The sadness sweetly for him (all your words and closeness) While they stand and stare (keep you here and human) Do you think they'll ever care? I don't care, I don't care
