I'm a man, I am mortal
I bleed, I bruise, I cry and shit
I'm a beast, I'm an animal
I'm a force to be wreckoned with

I am fucked up in head
Daunting nightmares causing dread
Beating walls beside my bed
Take my life, consider me dead

I've got this howling scream
Deep inside of me
Keeping me awake, alive
Won't let me take my life
Screeching like a banshee
Ripping, tearing right through me
I'm giving up on everything
But then I hear that howling scream

I've got no reasons to go on
No reasons at all
I know that isn't true
But it's simply how I feel

I'm told that I'll be okay
Then why don't I feel that way?
Trying to believe it's true
But I can't believe it's real

I've got this howling scream
Deep inside of me
Keeping me awake, alive
Won't let me take my life
Screeching like a banshee
Ripping, tearing right through me
I'm giving up on everything
But then I hear that howling scream

I'm a son, I've got a daughter
I'm a father and a brother
I've got friends family to live for
Keeps me going, just a little more

Still I can't escape this darkness
Takes me back every time
Single sliver of happiness
And she ain't even mine

I've got this howling scream
Deep inside of me
Keeping me awake, alive
Won't let me take my life
Screeching like a banshee
Ripping, tearing right through me
I'm giving up on everything
But then I hear that howling scream

That howling scream keeps saving me
