Trying

the screaming, the screaming
it's hurting my ears
it's driving me crazy
it's all i can hear

just trying to live
day by day
i try to give
they push me away

i wish i were dead
it would all be more simple
then they'd cherish my words
as all sentimental

but now i must live
for now i must stay
being dead would be easier
all my pain gone away
