Scream, Scream, Scream

(albüm: You're Awful, I Love You - 2008)

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

[Chorus:]
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 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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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
