I want to scream and shout
But I know it won't make a difference
It won't change a damn thing
I want to open your eyes
But a blind man cannot see
No matter how hard he tries
None of this matters
It won't make a difference
It won't change one damn thing
So I stand in the corner
Watching everything go by
Not even bothering to wonder why
Turning my back, staring at the wall
Slipping back into the shadows once more

I thought I had it all figured out
I thought I had it all down pat
Everything made perfect sense
Then reality stepped in
Slapped me on the forehead
Snapping me out of my fantasy
What lay before my eyes
Was not what I thought
Not what I had wanted
Screaming and shouting silently
My words falling upon deafened ears
My tears falling before blinded eyes

I threw it all away with a needle in my vein
Getting high and numbing the pain
Was all that I could see
I was too blind to see the one man that loved me
Throwing love away for a needle in my vein
Now all I can do is walk past you with my head bowed in shame
You see me yet you don't, all you really see is the junkie I used to be
Even though I've changed, become who I am now, a beauty in the light
All you can do is run away in fright...and I fall down on my knees
The tears flowing unendingly, just because I threw away love
All for a needle in my vein...

Taps an interesting emotional core. The lost among the saved.

Another great write!
