Nothing Stops the Bleeding

-->
                                                       
Nothing stops the bleeding
I’ve prayed, I’ve rebelled
I’ve tried all my usual medicines
Nothing stops the sting
I’ve failed myself
I was betrayed

I don’t like the man I am anymore
The waves of pain are a roar
I can’t ignore

Nothing stops the corruption
They’re selling kids
And they are shameless
Nothing stops the gossip
It doesn’t matter if I’m wrong or right
Their minds are made up

I don’t see that I’m making a difference
Fighting floods with my bare hands

Nothing stops the shaking
I’m always afraid
I’m always watched
Nothing stops the racing
Always trying to prove myself
Always trying to be something

I don’t see your hands in this darkness
I don’t see any hope for change
Stuck deep underneath my emotions
Like a building collapsed on top of me

Nothing stops the TV
Nothing stops the bombs of hate
No one stops the deportations
No one sees your face
