Quiet Distress Lyrics

How many times, how many lies
Does it take to demonstrate. To change the apathy that's ingrained
The screams. The cries. Behind the lies
The victim and the villainy, taking all your dignity
Quiet distress covers scars and bruises
Quiet distress leaves us lost and desperate
Night after night, search for the light. Relive the fear and misery
Disguise the pain. The blood will wash away, but the wounds still sing of your agony
Quiet distress covers scars and bruises
Quiet distress we can't afford indifference
Hearing screams and cries, over and over again
Wash the blood away, over and over again
The victim, over and over again. Becomes the victor in the end
Quiet distress won't cover scars and bruises
Quiet distress leaves us lost and desperate
We can't afford indifference
