Casualties

we are the casualties, no one tells you about us
you'll hear stories, but you have to live in believe
we're the bodies piled up by the roadside
you'll still smell us burning, it'll give you bad dreams

don't run away, we're a cautionary tale
walk softly and take heed
don't offer us your sympathy
you don't know what we need

we're the lost and the forsaken
screaming just to hear a voice
a sound to fill the empty spaces
a hand to hold and still the shaking

we're the spineless, the skinless and the broken
you'll be a crutch cause we can't stand on our own
you'll gather round us in comfort and heal us
but the nature of our pain will remain unknown

don't come to me for happiness
i'm an open pit and you will just fall in
don't ask me what my problem is
I wouldn't know where to begin

we're the lost and the forsaken
screaming just to hear a voice
a sound to fill the empty spaces
a hand to hold and still the shaking

we're the lost and the forsaken
screaming just to hear a voice
a sound to fill the empty spaces
a hand to hold and still the shaking
we're the wasted and the weary
giving up and falling down
we're the needy, sick for your love
a hand to hold and still the shaking
let it go and lay it down
a drug to take to stop the aching

I get so tired of holding up
I get so cold that I am chilled to the bone
I cry so hard, it knocks me down
I just don't want to be alone

we're the lost and the forsaken
screaming just to hear a voice
a sound to fill the empty spaces
a hand to hold and still the shaking

don't offer sympathy cause you don't know what I need
I'm so tired of holding up, that I'm giving up and falling down
I'm wasted and I'm cold, and I need a hand to hold
And the nature of any pain remains unknown even to me
I don't want to be alone, and it chills me to the bone
so don't even ask me what's wrong, it's been going on so long I don't know
i'm screaming for the sound, to feel like someone's 'round
let it go and lay it down, and fill the empty space with love
