Beneath - After Forever

Bewildered by silence
Stuck by its questions and lucid ways to make us aware
I did not know how cruel that could be
That so many cases will never be solved
That so many stories will never be told
I did not know how cruel that could be
Fighting a war that rages inside
The world can't see the hate that burns in there
How can we face what lies beneath
If we just fear and don't fight back
How many questions left unanswered
How many tears and inner strength shall we need
How any times can we encounter this again and again
How many things exist that blind us
How many forms of brutal violence can we see
How many images of pain will make us numb
So hard so cruel we fail to see we fail to feel
So afraid even without thecourage of despair
Fighting a war that rages inside
The world can't see the hate that burns in there
How can we face what lies beneath
If we just fear and don't fight back
Afraid of ourselves arfaid to stand up
I did not know how cruel that could be
We failed to see we failed to feel
Still afraid what if you love someone
What if this happened to your loved ones
What would you do if you were there at that time
What makes you act like nothing happened
Nothing's wrong you're doing fine
What makes you think you are immune to this
What drove us so far to the edge of tolerance
If judging and accusing is so easy then why
Why still
Fighting a war that rages inside
The world can't see the hate that burns in there
How can we face what lies beneath
If we just fear and don't fight back
