The Hurt And The Healer
Don’t you know I’m hurting
Behind the smile I force for you
Can you feel this pain
When you say snap out of it
Do you sense the turmoil
Behind the tears I yield
Have you seen the loneliness
Within the scars I hide
Have you felt the coldness of a heart
That’s given up on life
Could you yield a mighty flame
To reignite this soul that’s died
This weight you could not carry
It’s a burden I must endure
So could you breathe beneath this grave
Of the lost life I threw away
You cannot hold this feeling
It belongs to me alone
You cannot taste this pain
Only I can keep it within
You could never hold back the walls
That close in around my soul
And who could ever free themselves
From the chains I form for myself
No one one earth could understand
Not one could feel this way
None hold the pain that I hold
It’s mine and mine alone
And when the shadows creep
There’s no one here but me
And when the voices scream
No one hears them only me
But I hear them child
I hear the lies they say
I see beyond the shadows
I the light is within
I’ve seen the scars you make
I felt the pain of each
I watched the tears fall
I’ve collected every one
I’ve been with you everywhere
You just chose not to see
I’ve looked over you since forever
You just never to turned to me
And I’m here with you now
Now you’re crying out to the world
Though it seems none are listening
I am feeling every word
I’m calling you from the shadows
Calling you into this light
I’m taking you from this darkness
To be a beacon to people of the night
Stand with me my child
Take your refuge beneath my wings
Walk with me my child
Into all I have for you
I promise I will carry it all
The pain of all you’ve been
Look around I’ve set you free
All your chains have been released
