Stand tall, we are surrounded by hatred Left to defend our rights and wrongs We're segregated to other worlds Classified as the blind We are part of the living breathing And we are not the only ones We are more than self-righteous patrons And we are not the only ones Shattered, we must pick up the pieces Misrepresented and libeled Decorated with shame I am appalled At the animosity we have created I am appalled Look at all we have become Look at all we have become We are part of the living breathing And we are not the only ones We are more than self-righteous patrons And we are not the only ones

Fearless people, careless needle Harsh words spoken and lives are broken Forceful ageing, help me I'm fading Heaven's waiting, it's time to move on Crossing that bridge with lessons I've learned Playing with fire and not getting burned I may not know what you're going through But time is the space between me and you Life carries on, it goes on Just say die and that would be pessimistic In your mind we can walk across the water Please don't cry it's just a prayer for the dying I just don't know what's got into me Been crossin' that bridge with lessons I've learned Playing with fire and not getting burned I may not know what you're going through But time is the space between me and you There is a light through that window Hold on say, "Yes", While people say, "No" Life carries on, it goes on I'm crossing that bridge with lessons I've learned I'm playing with fire and not getting burned I may not know what you're going through But time is the space between me and you There is a light through that window Hold on say, "Yes", While people say, "No" 'Cause life carries on, it goes on It goes on, life carries on When nothing else matters When nothing else matters I just don't know what's got into me It's just a prayer for the dying, for the dying

She was confused and abused in this life Emotional and violent moments seemed to take the longest time Every single knockout drag out fight they ever had Apologies and dignity denied He starts to laugh He starts to lie with suddenly psychotic eyes Every night she cried herself to sleep She didn't recognize her own face in the mirror Black and blue So afraid intimidation Like a child she hides away He would always try to justify what wasn't true Justified Black Eye Taken for granted she sleeps by the phone Waiting for a call from him But it seems he's never coming home 14 beers later he is there without an answer Once again she questions his lies He goes to bed with no reply Tomorrow morning different story and he'll be a different guy He'll justify her black eye with another lie She pack's her bags in great temptation He's on his knees again he cries A hug and a kiss and I don't know why, as a tear drops from her swollen eye Apologies until tonight and another justified black eye Justified Black Eye
