When night comes round
I just don't wanna be here
I live every single day
Crying and shakin in fear

People pick me up
And toss me around
A little doll
And then I drop on down
They throw me down

When days breaks morrow
I just wanna be gone
I live every single day
Singing the lonely man's song

People walk on by
And I get kicked around
By the feet
And the shadows that they cause
And all that I can do is

Start screaming at nothing
Screaming bout the lonely days
And I don't know how
To make it all fade away
Away

And the poison seeps in
I feel it in me now
And the feeling is eternal
And my body drops on down

But no one stops to see
If I'm alright
Nobody cares
And they walk on by my side
They move on with their lives

And the river runs deep
And I jump across each new strife
Hoping to find the one
That will get me to the other side of life

But no one helps me along
On my quest
I'm all by myself
And all I can say to myself is fuck all the rest
They're only pests at best
At best and I

Start screaming at nothing
Screaming bout the lonely days
And I don't know how
To make it all fade away, away
And I start screaming at nothing
I don't wanna be here anymore
I wanna be free, wanna be clear
I wanna be one of the rest of this town
Of this town

So make me
C'mon and join with me
It's only one small step away
To me, to me

And will you help me
I don't know why this life's so unfair
So just join with me
Hold with me
Hope with me
For a better day yeah

But no one comes around
And all I can do is start

Start screaming at nothing
Screaming bout the lonely days
And I don't know how
To make it all fade away, yeah
And I start screaming at nothing
I don't wanna be here anymore
I wanna be free, wanna be clear
I wanna be one of the rest of this town
Of this town

And I start screaming at nothing
Screaming at nothing
For nobody at all
To come and help nothing
Across to the side of something
And I start screaming at nothing
Can you make something from this
From this empty shell-like thing
That once, that once

Was a man
Was a man
Was a man
Screaming at nothing
