Newly recorded version of "Suffering". Released on June 19, 2020, for BandCamp's NAACP Fundraising Drive.

lyrics

VERSE 1

We’re in a land of bounty
Plentiful indeed
Youth suicide off the charts
And mental illness to our cheeks
We're high on porn and pain pills
We're too afraid to speak
We can't discuss the remedy
We're sure we're damned, at least

CHORUS 1

Suffering
But we don’t know how to change
Suffering
We stay in the same damaged place

So drown all your feelings and kill the love
Repress all your hurt, give praise above
Burn the bridge for a change that’s good
And sacrifice ourselves for who?

VERSE 2

We swear we know what’s best
At odds with all the rest
Science and advancement
Just can’t fix such a mess
We’ll leave the final plan
In dead and dying hands
No need to save ourselves
We’ll be saved by someone else

CHORUS 2

Suffering
But we don’t know how to change
Suffering
We stay in the same damaged place

So drown all your feelings and kill the love
Repress all your hurt, give praise above
Burn the bridge for a change that’s good
And sacrifice ourselves for who?

BRIDGE

Blessed are the addicts
Still hiding their love
Blessed are the suicides
Afraid to speak up
The depressed, the anxious
Our broken families too
And everyone so damaged from
conforming to one view
We say we’re making sacrifices
For the greater good
But it seems that good we get
Isn’t worth the good we knew

CHORUS 3

Suffering
But we don't need to be
Suffering
We can find inner peace

So let out your feelings, express your love
Share all your hurt, help everyone
Build a bridge to a change that's good
And simply be the best for you
