Suffer

Hours from sunrise, here in the heart of darkness
Where even demons fear to tread
Restraints that hold you down and render you helpless
Behind the wall that I was climbing
You with the broken wings, you the sinner
You, the patron saint of self-inflicted pity
In search of the pieces you lost when you fell apart
Suffer the children who like you knew no better
Mistakes and abuses, scars, wounds and bruises
Close your eyes, close your eyes
If you should fall, if the world turns away
If it all becomes too much, if you can’t take the pain
Here you have strength, here you are safe from harm
Here you have healing, all the things you never had
You don’t have to live in pain
You want the things that hurt you more
You don’t have to suffer for the things you never had
Here you have strength, here you are safe from harm
Here you have healing, all the things you never had
