I've never seen a time
When I could let the world roll by.
I always had to jump aboard just for the ride.
I see things in my mind
I'd thought were dreams, but now reality
Takes me to a place where I can hide.
Some people tell me talk is cheap.
It's actions that can only speak.
Keep moving. Don't slow down. Don't fall behind.

(Chorus)
Must I always suffer in silence?
This is something you've never known.
Why must I always suffer in silence?
I want to scream out to the world.

Oh, these years of being all alone.
The disconnected telephones.
The pictures of the friends I never see.
The violence in their written words.
Silent tears are never heard.

The needle made me dream of you and me.

(Chorus)

And this is one time. Such a sad time.
Scream out to the world. I want to scream...

Some people tell me talk is cheap.
It's actions that can only speak.
Keep moving. Don't slow down. Don't fall behind.
Don't try and hold your breath.
You'll only drown among the sunken ships.
Don't know what to do? Don't head into this blind.

(Chorus)

This is something you've never known.
Why must I always suffer in silence?
I want to scream out to the world.
I want to scream out to the world.
Scream out to the world. Scream out...
