When the hurting speaks new song version

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...
