Howling

"Howling"

i did something i regret tonight
i knew i would, but i couldn't get myself to move
it hit me out of nowhere, like a punch in the gut
i swear i never meant to disappoint you

but these voices are howling
and i can't silence the screams
be quiet, be quiet

i hate that i wasn't strong enough
i hate that i let them kick me while i was down
i hate that i wasn't tough enough
i swear i will never again fall back down

but these voices are howling
and i can't silence the screams
be quiet, be quiet
just let me be

my prayers are being drowned
my whispers turn to growls
i'm screaming, screaming
voices fading, fading

but these voices are howling
and i can't silence the screams
be quiet, be quiet
just let me be
