Quiet Distress

How many times, how many lies
Does it take to demonstrate, to change
The apathy that's ingrained?
The screams, the cries behind the lies
The victim and the villainy
Taking all your dignity

Quiet distress
Covers scars and bruises
Quiet distress
Leaves us lost and desperate

Night after night, search for the light
Relive the fear and misery
Disguise the pain (the pain)
The blood will wash away (wash away)
But the wounds still sing of your agony

Quiet distress
Covers scars and bruises
Quiet distress
We can't afford indifference

Hearing screams and cries
Over and over again
Wash the blood away
Over and over again
The victim
Over and over again
Becomes the victor in the end

Quiet distress (distress)
Won't cover scars and bruises
Quiet distress
Leaves us lost and desperate (desperate)
Quiet distress (distress)
We can't afford indifference
