Reach out to the trembling child which clings to life, The dying innocence hidden so deeply within my battered soul.
I'm begging for help, But I don't know how to ask. Always been alone, I don't need anyone.
Whisper in the early light, The red dawn looks like the blood upon a forgotten battlefield. I have become numb, It dulls the pain to pretend I don't feel it at all.
Say you care for me, I may not respond because I can't believe you.
Send another spirit away, One after another, Never realizing that their lives were happier than mine.
I never stopped to ask myself what I would do when the war was over, And yet I swear I will bring peace. Do I even know what that is? Do I know how to stop fighting?
Until that day I'll keep lying to myself, Keep up the pretense that I don't hurt, That the pain isn't there.
Don't pity me, I can't feel it, Don't speak to me, I can't hear it, Don't love me, I can't understand it.
