They Don't know

life

They don't know the wars we been in

The tears and lost of friends

Since our birth on this earth

Or whence the winds come again

Or the dark roads that we travel

On the front lines of battle

Where blood runs thru our city streets

And seeps down through the gravel

They don't know the pain we felt

Or our silent cries out for help

Beneath the dark and gray clouds

Where we have no one else but ourselves

They don't know the dungeons we live in

Or the pungent smell of broken men

Where shattered dreams cut like glass

They pretend but they don't understand

They don't know the trauma that we suffer

Or why our lives are so much tougher

Or why we're forced inside this box

Or the we see down here in the gutter

They don't know all the hurt that we feel

Or what it's like to see a friend killed

They don't know the thin line that we walk

Battlescared out in the killing fields

Where even Angels fear to tread

And the system put prices on our heads

They don't what it's like to be alive

But living in a world that wants you dead....
