Words of the Wounded

In a world where whispers carry weight We speak in shadows sealing fate Every silence screams every glance can cut We build our walls but the doors stay shut Crimson tongues they dance and weave Spitting venom we deceive In the echo chamber of despair We trade our hope for empty air We speak death over one another In a culture of darkness we try to smother Words like daggers hearts on the floor Let's break this chain we can't take it anymore We've lost the light we've lost the fight Let's find a way to speak life tonight Scrolling through faces lost in the screen Behind every smile there's a pain unseen We wear our armor but the wounds run deep In the silence of night our sorrows creep Crimson tongues they dance and weave Spitting venom we deceive In the echo chamber of despair We trade our hope for empty air We speak death over one another In a culture of darkness we try to smother Words like daggers hearts on the floor Let's break this chain we can't take it anymore We've lost the light we've lost the fight Let's find a way to speak life tonight But what if we spoke with kindness and grace? What if our words could lift and embrace? With every heartbeat let's rewrite the tale Breathe life into love; let our voices prevail We speak death over one another In a culture of darkness we try to smother Words like daggers hearts on the floor Let's break this chain we can't take it anymore We've lost the light we've lost the fight Let's find a way to speak life tonight In the mirror's reflection we see our own scars Each word a battle we're trapped behind bars But beneath the surface there's a spark yet to ignite A chance to rebuild to reclaim our light We speak death over one another In a culture of darkness we try to smother Words like daggers hearts on the floor Let's break this chain we can't take it anymore We've lost the light we've lost the fight Let's find a way to speak life tonight We speak death over one another In a culture of darkness we try to smother Words like daggers hearts on the floor Let's break this chain we can't take it anymore We've lost the light we've lost the fight Let's find a way to speak life tonight So let's rise together in unity's sight With words like water we'll show our might In a world where whispers can mend and uplift Let's choose life let's choose love let's be the gift
