|
I was always a loner because I think for myself |
|
You never accepted me for me but why did you pretend |
|
Why should I speak when no one ever listens to me |
|
Inside I die misery my only friend |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
Why Why Why can't I be me |
|
Why Why Smothered from reality |
|
Scream Scream Someone listen to me |
|
Scream Scream Pay attention to me |
|
I will be what you want me to be I will think what you want me to think |
|
My reason for being only my parents to please |
|
I'm not the perfect child you made me out to be |
|
My problems my imperfections you never wanted to see |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Dear Mom and Dad, |
|
I write this letter telling you |
|
I am now free. It was your lack of |
|
Love and attention is what killed |
|
Me. So don't blame some heavy metal |
|
Record to cover your own neglect. |
|
Your perfect picture turned fatal, |
|
Portrait not what you've come to expect |
|
Each time I squeeze the trigger the pain slowly subsides |
|
Put the gun to my own head now I too must die |
|
Die Die Dying to be me |
|
Why Why Smothered from reality |
|
Scream Scream Someone listen to me |
|
Scream Scream Pay attention to me |
|
Eighteen years I've hurt in silence and now they ask why |
|
Why did he snap Why did he kill He was always the perfect child |
|
Live your life through me and telling me how to live |
|
Sheltered from reality did anyone care how I felt |
|
Five o'clock on the evening news child goes on a killing spree |
|
Now I have your attention Now you'll listen to me |
|
[Chorus] |
