"Scream You Guitar" lyrics

Scream You Guitar

I worshipped you
Treasured you
Drove my soul inside of you
Dreamed a dream
For me and you
That's turned into a nightmare

And like a drug
I can't break loose
I've died a million times for you
Just like a leech
You suck from me
The hope, the strength left in me

My sanity
Still clings to me
I've bared my soul for all to see
Sold my very history
A song to please the nation

I turned my frown
To dancing clown
Sing my songs
Turn on the charm
To earn some love
And keep me warm
My guitar plays for you

Scream, you guitar
Scream for my pain
Cry for your share
Of this fortune and fame
Scream, you guitar
Scream for the shame
You cannot escape
Your share of the blame

Yet still I find
This need in me
To prove myself
To all who see
That I am what I dreamed I'd be
And I will live forever

At center stage
I'll take my place
Emotion drawn upon my face
My guitar slung around my waist
I'm here to play for you

Scream, you guitar
Scream for my pain
Cry for your share
Of this fortune and fame
Scream, you guitar
Scream for the shame
You cannot escape
Your share of the blame
