Red Delicious - Casualties lyrics

We're the casualties, no-one tells you about us You'll hear stories But you have to live to believe We're the bodies piled up by the roadside You'll smell us burning It'll give you bad dreams Don't run away'we're a cautionary tale Walk softly and take heed Don't offer us your sympathy You don't know what we need We're the lost and the forsaken Screaming just to hear a voice A sound to fill the empty spaces A hand to hold and still the shaking We are the spineless, the skinless and the broken You'll be a crutch, 'cause we can't stand on our own You'll gather round us To comfort and heal us But the nature of our pain will remain unknown Don't come to me for happiness I'm an open pit, and you will just fall in Don't ask me what my problem is I wouldn't know where to begin We're the lost and the forsaken Screaming just to hear a voice A sound to fill the empty spaces A hand to hold and still the shaking We're the wasted and the weary Giving up and falling down We're the needy, sick for your love A hand to hold and still the shaking Let it go and lay it down A drug to take to stop the aching I get so tired of holding up I get so cold that I am chilled to the bone I cry so hard it knocks me down I just don't want to be alone We're the lost and the forsaken Screaming just to hear a voice A sound to fill the empty spaces A hand to hold and still the shaking Don't offer sympathy 'Cause you don't know what I need I'm so tired of holding up that I'm giving up and falling down I don't want to be alone And it chills me to the bone So don't ask me what's wrong It's been going on so long I don't know I'm wasted and I'm cold And I need a hand to hold And the nature of my pain remains unknown even to me I'm screaming for the sound To feel like someone's 'round Let it go and lay it down and fill the empty space with love
