Silent Screams

I’m only wanting to return to the days of where I came from

Other side of the tracks muddy river flowing being just young and dumb

Carefree days sitting on a dock sun shining down no need for a clock

Simple days fishing and grinning now all hidden behind a mental block

Got to wake up from this long terrible dream

Rid this mind of the haunting silent screams

Savoring the heart thumping feel of that first kiss

That first hand in hand walk memory is what I miss

A moonlit Saturday night skate with a hot looking date

All went by so fast never noticing my future’s sad fate

Sin free days passed on by replaced with the horrors of a war

Carefree thoughts locked up tight underneath a black door

Wouldn’t ever wish this state of mind on any one of you

Forgetting one’s youth nobody should have to go through

Got to wake up from this long terrible dream

Rid this mind of the haunting silent screams
