Suffer In Silence


Many today are lost in a maze Getting caught in a purple haze Wake up late to one of those days Inside we hide behind four walls that bind Yet we are still being crafted in an elegant design Cold wretched hearts beating alone tonight Having no fond love but that's still their right It's heaven to Betsy like lock Nest With Nesty Yet all of life is not a party We need something to set us all free While we live out our lives in a land of make believe Laugh a lot with light and love Thank the good Lord out of heaven above We tend to sweep things underneath the rug When all of the while God wanted to give us a great big hug But be grateful for what you have in this life Amidst the bitter cold silence Amidst the bitter violence Still it all comes down to choice Some need to be locked in a padded room Others have been taken from us way to soon Still there will never be another one quite like you These are your marching orders to tell us what to do
