To rise, to fall.   To hurt, to hate.   To want, to wait.   To heal, to save.      Can't hear it   We fear it   Awareness won't come near it      Distractive   Reactive   Disguised in spite of time      I never bared my emotion   My passion always strong   I never lost my devotion   But somewhere fate went wrong      Can't let them rape me again   Your venom's not family here   Won't let them fill me with fatalistic remedies      What if the rest of the world was hopelessly blinded by fear?   Where would my sanctity live?   Suddenly nobody cares.      It's never enough   You're wasting your time   Isn't there something I could say?   You don't understand   You're closing me out   How can we live our lives this way?      You tell me I'm wrong   I'm risking my life   Still, I have nothing in return   I show you my hands   You don't see the scars   Maybe I'll leave me here to burn.      What if the rest of the world was hopelessly drowning in vain?   Where would our self pity run?   Suddenly everyone cares.      Blood... heal me   Fear... change me   Belief will always save me   Blood... swearing   Fear... staring   Conviction made aware      Give up on misery   Turn your back on dissent   Leave their distrust behind   Wash your hands of regret      Do you feel   You don't know me anymore?   And do you feel   I'm afraid of your love?   And how come you don't want me asking?   And how come my heart's not invited?   You say you want everyone happy   Well,   We're not laughing.      And how come you don't understand me?   And how come I don't understand you?   Thirty years say we're in this together   So open your eyes.      People in prayer for me   Everyone there for me   Sometimes I feel I should face this alone   My soul exposed   It calms me to know that I won't      Blood... heal me   Fear... change me   Belief will always save me   Blood... swearing   Fear... staring   Conviction made aware      Give up on misery   Turn your back on dissent   Leave their distrust behind   Wash your hands of regret      Blood... heal me   Fear... change me   Belief will always save me   Blood... swearing   Fear... staring   Conviction made aware      Learning from misery   Staring back at dissent   Leaving distrust behind   I'm inspired and content
