Only Words

from The Tides by Safe and Sound

lyrics

Where do we do when sympathy seems so far away
Understanding is a place you've never been
Abuse is something too many of us have seen
Your running joke isn't funny to me
You're pushing aside pain
In hopes of self gain
How are you not ashamed
To take their lives in vain
A ritual of hate
Something I won't partake
It'll never be too late
We can't just sit and wait
While you deplete their will to try
Cripple their drive
Making them incapable of living life
You leave them with strife
I'm only left with strife
Your words of fire burn through skin
How long before the healing begins
I won't sit and wait
