New Song Lyrics, Working Title 'Scream'
Not ready to share the full story here. Suffice it to say it's been a challenging New Year's season.
This is called Scream.

Scream
I see you lying there, a husk of a man
I know you’re lying here, an elaborate sham
Quaking heart and shaking hands
Now there’s flashing lights, what have you done
Cries split the night, is that his son
Out of mind gets out of hand
Chorus
What’s the first thing you remember
Was it as bad as they say
What’s the last thing you remember
Before they took you away
You can’t numb yourself, it cuts too deep
You can’t hide your eyes in your liquid sleep
There’s no happy ever after
You can’t run and hide, the ghost is you
You can’t turn inside out, he’s in there too
I’ve got a few of my own
Bridge
Dead to the bone
Numb to the core
Do you even know me anymore
C’mon scream
Scream
Will I shed a tear when the screaming stops
Can you even hear should I turn it up
The promise you made to another
She’s watching me, can she see you too
That look in her eye, is it for me or you
Am I the keeper of my brother
- - - - - - - - - -
Enough said.

Thanks, Bezels. I intend to revisit this and refine, using some of the techniques in my newfound study of songwriting. It needs polish, but I think captures the honesty and emotion of the event. They say that tensions in our lives and experience make the best songs. There ought to be plenty of fodder here and other events of the past few years. Now to add some perspective, eh?
