I hear
Hushed whispers
Passing from ear to ear
They don't know how much it hurts
It feels like a never-ending curse
Fighting every single day
Finding every single way
To hide, to put on a disguise
They say how bad can it really be
I say you don't know it like me
You don't know what I've been through
You don't know what I've had to do
They don't know what it's like, every single night
Always trying to fight it, but never succeeding
Words can hurt I've felt it
People can scar I've seen it
They say
Sticks and stones can break your bones
But words can never hurt you
But that's just not true
I hear
Hushed whispers
Passing from ear to ear
When someone tells you to stop
You never seem to listen
It's like you're not even trying
'Cause I still see people crying
It's an addiction, an obsession
You can't seem to stop
Have you always been this mean
Is there something I'm just not seeing
Do you enjoy their pain
What do you gain
From making their lives miserable
From never ever being considerable
Do you think this is just a game
It's people's lives at stake
Why do you always hurt
Cant you just be kind
Is that so hard to find
In the dark depths of your mind
I hear
Hushed whispers
Passing from ear to ear
Bringing fear, bringing tears
Why can't it all just dissappear
I know its not just me
I know others agree
Because people are hurting
Friends are deserting
Each other
Sister and brother
Daughter and mother
Everyone's affected
No one is protected
All because of this spreading disease
Coming and going where ever it pleases
What does it really do
Except split us apart
How does it really help
Except to carve new scars
All it does is lead to darkness
I hear
Hushed whispers
Passing from ear to ear
Now pass it on and on and on
Like it doesn't even matter
Like people's hearts won't shatter
It's a disease that's always spreading
It never stops, not for anything
Every time it ends it starts again later
Every time it stops it starts again worse
Every time it starts there's never a cure
Sometimes there isn't an easy solution
Because whenever I try there's just confusion
Its a battle I'm losing, one I don't think I'll win
But that won't keep me from trying
That won't keep my hope away
You say how do I stop it
I say just open your eyes to see
Just try help people to be free
It might be hard, it might be long
but we're patient and we're strong
