Hush!

The world doesn't want to know, so don't tell them
Keep to yourself your selfish thoughts
Bury them, until they're 6 feet under
Or they'll slaughter them, and leave them to rot

How dare you feel such a feeling
Feelings like this, you must never discuss
Besides, there is no reason to feel this
So let it burn until it turns to dust

Why would they care of wounds not of them
Just carry your own cross while they stone
Make believe smiles and mask all emotion
For your pain can never be shown
