Lyrics

[Verse 1] I hear screaming all the time Ever since I was like nine And nobody is screaming but they could be So my senses heighten It's inside my head Except it's not Except it is It seems to start From stimuli inside the threshold Far away enough to Leave it open For interpretation by my brain Faster than I can ascertain There is no danger And cancel the unfolding Anxiety attack But it's too late to take it back The volume of the TV's On like three but it's too much for me [Verse 2] Right now at night I hear it through the floor And put my headphones on And turn them up as loud as I can handle So that I can finally Get some peace and quiet In my head but when it's silent It just makes me listen harder 'Cause you know at any moment I might Have to spring into action Or eavesdrop on my parents 'Cause they could be talking shit about me How terrible would that be? [Verse 3] But really I guess that it's gotten Better since I stopped taking My medicine, the Ritalin And other stimulants they had me on Were doing numbers on my psyche Even though they kind of helped me Stupid doctor didn't tell me Anything helpful but I just let it go 'Cause he was really, really sexy And intimidating, I loved when he Touched my balls and pressed his icy Stethoscope against my chest So he could hear my heartbeat Just as loud and clear as it was Echoing between my ears already [Verse 4] I hear Facebook sounds in every song I hear my name in every noun I hear my dog crying three times a day And I'd get up and pet him But he's dead and every sound That sounds like him just makes me Want to stick a needle in my ear But then again I'd probably Still hear screaming every morning And hear screaming every night I'd still hear screaming when I'm Home alone in the background Of every song I listen to To kill the screaming [Outro] To kill the screaming To kill the screaming To kill the screaming To kill the screaming To kill the screaming
