Song, © by Michaël Lessard, 1991.*

Need to Scream

Hoping to get home as fast as I can

Close the door behind and fall to the floor

Following the tears falling down, down to the ground.

I wanna go insane !

Forget the Pain !!

I need to, I need to, I need to scream !

Gathering up the energy (angry)

The courage to live !

Turning love into rage and pain into screams (angry, but controlled talk)

Help me feel the rage, the rage to live,

because there’s nothing more beautiful than the love I felt for you!

Scream with ! Scream ! Scream with me

... as we try to survive ourselves

I wanna go insane !

Forget the Pain !!

I need to, I need to, I need to scream !

It’s in my soul, it’s in my blood, can’t take it anymore

I want to destroy this world of lies

'Cause I'm fighting not to die inside

No matter where I go, I’m never alone.

I can never find, a place where I can scream.

I wanna go insane !

Forget the Pain !!

I need to, I need to, I need to scream!

[this part would have a different rhyme. Sung slowly and softly]

Oh my god the pain, the pain

So much pain I can’t explain

And don’t you pretend this is not sometimes what you feel [sung strongly]

You cannot lie to me 'cause I’m human like you

I wanna go insane !

Forget the Pain !!

Scream with ! Scream ! Scream with me
