Gossip

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
