  • My friend
    He put a gun to his head
    He said they'll never understand
    If you had my life
    You would be like this too
    You would use like I do
    You would lose like I do

    I said my friend
    Trust me I understand
    I breathe the same air before
    The air of a tortured soul
    So please, I can't see you go
    No

    CHORUS:
    So please, follow me
    And we will scream
    Like no one's listening
    So please, follow me
    And we will scream
    Like no one's listening

    My eyes widen
    As my hands start to shake
    I looked through the glass
    To see a bed with an imaginary flask
    And the pain on his face masked

    I've seen cases like this before
    Says a bitch in a doctors uniform
    I give him a week if he keeps living like this
    "Damn kids these days I don't think they'll
    Ever be fixed"

    What you don't understand?
    Is like I'm screaming to a wall
    Don't you understand?
    The more we obtain false bliss
    The harder we fall
    Of course you don't,
    You know nothing at all
    Society purposely puts a noose in our hand
    Makes it difficult to say
    Together we stand
    But I'm here to tell you, we can

    He turns to me
    And he says, "Lindsay
    I feel so empty"

    CHORUS
    So please, follow me
    And we will scream
    Like no one's listening
    So please, follow me
    And we will scream
    Like no one's listening

    I turn a corner
    In a flashback of my past
    See one of my girls
    Lying passed out
    And slashed
    I tried to save her
    As she whispers in my ear
    "Please let me be I can
    finally see clear"
    Is this what the world has come to
    That we've just drowned in fear
    By the time we pass on
    It's what we've been wanting for years
    You people want to believe
    This shit isn't real
    But I'm telling you it is
    So please don't' hold
    Back your tears


    So please, follow me
    And we will scream
    Like no one's listening
    So please, follow me
    And we will scream
    Like no one's listening Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
