I Try...

by Toni   Jun 10, 2005


I try to cry but nothing comes out
I try to scream but nothing comes out

And so I am slowly strangled
By my own self doubt

I try to call out in the night
I try so hard to put up a fight

But I am slowly withering
Deprived by the light

I try to make sense of this hell
I try to try, but you can’t tell

Now there is no mending, I’m breaking
You know I break so well

I try to find some meaning
I try but inside I’m screaming

And now there is no escape
Into distant dreaming

I try… I try
