Listen to poem:
When the hurting speaks
All of the memories...
flood back with time
I've never been taught, how
to handle it right
All the thoughts linger...
in the cracks of the mind
Where no one expects,
or is able to find
Bridge
Where are you going
in this altered state?
Where nothing is real,
and solutions are fake.
Chorus
What will you do now?
Wait in the darkness...
Wait in the darkness...
Until...the hurting speaks
and, tears your insides out
that's when the hurting speaks
Why are they speaking
words I cannot hear
I see their lips moving
but I still live in fear
They've got all the answers
or so, they will say
But they couldn't live,
in my day to day
All that you need is to
take our nice pills
Blues reds and greens will
manage all your ills
Chorus
What will you do now?
Wait in the darkness...
Wait in the darkness...
Until...the hurting speaks
and, tears your insides out
that's when the hurting speaks
and, tears your insides out
that's when the hurting speaks...
