Lyrics Why I Scream - Rivers

Find the days when everything was truth
At least that's the lie I miss
I find hope that there might be a reckoning
But I'm not holding on for that soon
Who can outgrow the thorns of their youth

There is no sun in this garden
But the dark can feed the roots
But in turn it feeds off of you
No hope of relief until you burn the cancer that you grew

This is why I scream
And never stop
This is why I scream
There's no way to stop this

For all of time, I looked up to you
Now my eyes can see through the shroud
The veins that course through your soul
Full of bitterness and of pain that make you proud
Your head is held high but your legs are struggling to stand

This is why I scream
And never stop
This is why I scream
Only your words can stop this

I refuse
To crush the hearts
I'm done with it I have to start
Being Conscious of what I've done
And never let my roots convince me to wrong another one

Maybe I'm just as troubled
Maybe like you I live a double
Possibly there is more of you in me
Then I care to admit
Take away everything I ever wanted
Just because I'm mad doesn't mean I'm not conscious
Never forgot who I could become
I could be you

I could be you

You are why I scream
And never stop
You are why I scream
Only your words can stop this

I'll make the change while you stay the same
The loss of you is
Why I scream
