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`re 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 to still the shaking

Let it go and lay it down
A drug to take to stop the aching

I get so tired of holding on
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

We`re the wasted and the weary
Giving up and falling down
We`re the needy, sick for your love
A hand to hold to still the shaking

Don`t offer sympathy
(Let it go and lay it down)
Cause you don`t know what I need
I`m so tired of holding on
(Let it go and lay it down)
Giving up and falling down
I don`t wanna be alone
(Let it go and lay it down)
And it chills me to the bone
So don`t ask me what`s wrong
(Let it go and lay it down)
Going on so long, I don`t know
I`m wasted and I`m cold
(Let it go and lay it down)
And I need a hand to hold
The nature of my pain
(Let it go and lay it down)
Remains unknown to even me
Screaming for a sound
(Let it go and lay it down)
Cause I feel like someone`s around
Let it go and lay it down
(Let it go and lay it down)
Fill the empty space with love
