Cast Out

Leave your tears unseen
Lest the pain be multiplied
Silence is the way to sanctuary
Never mind that you're scarring on the inside

Justify your cowering
Guilty feelings are best denied
Turn your cheek to responsibility
Never mind that you're scarring on the inside

Disregard your suffering
Take the hits but keep the pride
Try to turn the bad thoughts back to good
Never mind that you're scarring on the inside

Unspoken words will never hurt you
Besides there's no one to confide
Just melt away when you're faced with the fire
Never mind that you're scarring on the inside

Keep on counting your blessings
Wipe away the tears that haven't dried
Submit yourself with humble smiles
Never mind that you're scarring on the inside

Depression isn't just a state of mind
It's a way of life for those who've died
The ones that we call the victims
The ones with scars on the inside
