Make Me Scream

Two AM

Palm lights shimmer in golden tone

[Intro]
Who’s knockin’ at your door
Knock, knock, cannot commit to explore
Do I know where I am to see anymore
Am I where I am every day to get into a mind
You can’t see past it’s own self-design

[Verse 1]
What am I doing inside of me
Every day is coming in
What is it to be another day inside of life
Inside of where I am to see
You gotta think about how I can iterate the beat
What I wanna do to create so I can take baby steps to come closer to
Time taking time to make time count
You gotta get into a mouth time to see what you can find inside of time
That can elevate time to elevate what you do to see inside your mind
Grow inside what you do
Spend a little time with nature too
What you do when you’re giving yourself a little respite
Is the doing that you most likely need to do
To complete what you wanna see

[Pre‑Chorus]
When you’re feeling a little empty
You gotta give yourself a little love
Know the other love that’s not love
That’s fortifying lust inside of desire
What you wanna acquire, work, desire to see
And you have to see past what you do to see
Come into reality to grow what you do
To reflect off what you bring into you
So you can say I’m just here to see what I can do inside of me

[Chorus]
Here and now is only able to see
If I can take control of me and get into know
I’m only there to see and I come in to be aware of me
I get in to know I’m only there to see in a self, see in a mind
See in what I gravitate into my design
To know I’m only there to see and then I grow into me

[Verse 2]
Can’t only be aware of my scene
Aware of where I come in to grow and then I say I know
I’m what I do to feel and then I say okay
I come in to know I’m real
I’m the deal in my eye to come in to what I do to say
I’m only there to whisper in to what I do in my affair
So I’m there to see any given time
Only knows what it is to be me
Can’t think past what you are inside of you

[Bridge – The Box]
It’s hard to think out of a box
That’s constructed from what you see
And when you knock down the walls what do you see
An empty box holding nothing in reality
Because you gotta have a box to see
How you wanna reflect off what you see
In reality if you couldn’t see what you do
You wouldn’t have any relationship to see
How you are to mind what it is to see
You’d be blank
You wouldn’t be able to know
Because you wouldn’t have a word to grow
And you wouldn’t have an awareness to see
A speech pattern that could allow you to get in to
Know what you do to bring in to think about you

[Verse 3 – Dreams & Hand]
Dreams would have a different way of explaining themselves
But you would understand
Everything would come in to hold your hand
You would just greet what you do to mind to see to get in to see
Spiral around to turn in to see
That you’re only what you do to fortify time coming in to you
So you grow the mind that you wanna see inside of you

[Pre‑Chorus 2 – The Pause]
Only there to be aware of your catch to know
The 22 brings in the pause in the parallel lines
That you need to stop sometimes to turn around
To reflect on what you can see inside of you
Just you inside of what you do

[Final Chorus]
Think past how you see to see
And reflect off of what you can to leave behind
To know to grow inside of time

[Outro – Hook reprise]
Who’s knockin’ at your door
Knock, knock, cannot commit to explore
Here and now is only able to see…
To know to grow inside of time.

Knockin’-at-Your Door

Love walketh not where ease

The devil flees the brightest glow

Tear-Stained Journal is a profound exploration of memory, vulnerability, and the hidden battles we carry within. It tells the story of secrets written in silence, confessions etched in ink, and the fragile strength found in facing the past. At its heart, the song is about survival through expression — how even the most painful words can become a source of healing when they are finally spoken.

Original Version – A cinematic pop ballad that builds from hushed intimacy into a soaring release. Atmospheric textures and layered production mirror the emotional weight of carrying unspoken truths, rising from fragility into catharsis.

Raw Version – Stripped back to its essence, the acoustic performance lays the song bare. Just voice and raw chords, it feels like a journal entry sung aloud, capturing the honesty, cracks, and vulnerability at the heart of the lyrics.

At its core, Tear-Stained Journal is a song about confession and resilience — a reminder that our scars and secrets don’t define us, but instead shape the stories that will always remain.
