LYRICS
SUFFER YOU
These hands are scorned;
They’re not pale – but black,
Civil liberty has slipped through the cracks.
These eyes are worn;
They’re not hard – but soft,
They have seen their share of heartache and loss.
These fears are grown;
Not innate – but made,
The street doesn’t show the dirt that was paved.
We suffer the loss, we suffer the cost,
But will we still suffer you anymore?
This skin is thick;
Doesn’t crawl – but creeps,
And all the things you say can still cut deep.
Patience is thin;
It’s not lost – but low,
We’re carried away by the undertow.
Stomach is sick;
Not hollow – empty,
As they strip away our identity.
We suffer the loss, we suffer the cost,
But will we still suffer you anymore?
These ears are deaf;
They’re not mine – but yours,
It’s hard to listen when your mind is closed.
Your heart is stone;
It pumps blood – not love,
You sacrifice peace to eat of the dove.
This mouth speaks out;
It’s quiet – not loud,
Our voices together rise to a shout!
We suffer the loss, we suffer the cost,
But will we still suffer you anymore?
They’re not pale – but black,
Civil liberty has slipped through the cracks.
These eyes are worn;
They’re not hard – but soft,
They have seen their share of heartache and loss.
These fears are grown;
Not innate – but made,
The street doesn’t show the dirt that was paved.
We suffer the loss, we suffer the cost,
But will we still suffer you anymore?
This skin is thick;
Doesn’t crawl – but creeps,
And all the things you say can still cut deep.
Patience is thin;
It’s not lost – but low,
We’re carried away by the undertow.
Stomach is sick;
Not hollow – empty,
As they strip away our identity.
We suffer the loss, we suffer the cost,
But will we still suffer you anymore?
These ears are deaf;
They’re not mine – but yours,
It’s hard to listen when your mind is closed.
Your heart is stone;
It pumps blood – not love,
You sacrifice peace to eat of the dove.
This mouth speaks out;
It’s quiet – not loud,
Our voices together rise to a shout!
We suffer the loss, we suffer the cost,
But will we still suffer you anymore?
