If No One Will Listen

Maybe no one told you there is strength in your tears

And so you fight to keep from pouring out

But what if you unlock the gate that keeps your secret soul

Do you think that there's enough you might drown?



If no one will listen

If you decide to speak

If no one's left standing after the bombs explode

If no one wants to look at you

For what you really are

I will be here still



No one can tell you where you alone must go

There's no telling what you find there

And, God, I know the fear that eats away at your bones

Screaming every step, "Just stay here"



If no one will listen

If you decide to speak

If no one's left standing after the bombs explode

If no one wants to look at you

For what you really are

I will be here still



If you find your fists are raw and red from beating yourself down

If your legs have given out under the weight

If you find you've been settling for a world of gray

So you wouldn't have to face down your own hate



If no one will listen

If you decide to speak

If no one's left standing after the bombs explode

If no one wants to look at you

For what you really are

I will be here still



If no one will listen

If you decide to speak

If no one's left standing after the bombs explode

If no one wants to look at you

For what you really are

I will be here still

I will be here still
