Grin and Bear It

Hurt and bruised an suffocated
Waiting for a chance to say goodbye
Passing Judgment, segregating
Crumbled wills and spirits fading
Lose yourself, conform until you die
Corrupt and beaten nations
Are losing all control
The whitewashed walls that cut us off from the rest of the world
They tell us ‘grin and bear it, just grin and bear it'
Suffer with the rest of society
Cause you can make it through this
If you take it, take it slow
Inside you is a strength they’ll never know
Left behind for all that’s sacred
Kept apart by fear and hatred
Did you really think you were alone
I’m like you are so are others
Joined together, sisters, brothers
Hearts and minds where you will find a home
If you’re a freak of nature
Well guess what so are we
Wear all black and don’t look back when they whisper behind the sheets
Show your teeth with apathy
Masquerade society
Deny it and you bring the flame
Consuming everything until they’re bringing down the creep in me
