Victim - Brainstorm

You can’t see the scars I had

Resurrect but not undead

Blessed by an immortal love

I can breathe the air above

You fall asleep but need no rest

Just stay awake to take a test

You say it right but speak no word

The loudest silence I’ve ever heard

You share the grace to be my god

And justify every single shot

Scared me to death by night and day

But no regrets in many ways

Your face is blank, no need to speak

It hurts me blind, but no one seeks

My body’s drenched in cold sweat

Fear surrounds my soul, fear surrounds my head

Now walk the line, and keep it true

Nothing here and no one there will face the truth

It’s not what you say, it’s what you do

There’s more in life than we can say it’s what the people hear…

I know the answer but no one sees

Will you ever know just what I mean

I need to feel that I’m alive, can’t take my breath

Don’t be a victim to a world that divides

You enslave a lonely soul

Unleash the greatest gift of all

Is this your blessing or a mistake

No regrets and nothing to take

You figure out my confidence

To take the arm and cut off the hands

Smile to me in my mortal fright

A sinner’s harm, the saint’s delight

This loss of life, you’re not to blame

Nothing here and there will ever be the same

It’s not when you cry or when you sleep

There’s life to live, a world to save, there’s life to keep
