Love Denied Lyrics - State Of The World Address - Biohazard

A child is told from day number one 

He's a worthless piece of shit, bad and dumb 

Generations pass down low self esteem 

We're molded by things we've heard and seen 

Or punched in the mouth for being unsure 

Or locked behind the closet door 

We learn what we live, we live what we learn 

Abuse of innocence to evil we turn 

Can anybody hear their cries? 

Can anybody tell them why? 

You gotta read between their lies 

People die when love is denied 

One of many lessons I learned to be like 

You ain't gonna live like you 

You made me what I am today 

So close to you, yet so far away 

The pain you lived with made you ill 

An empty hole with nothing to fill 

I forgive and love you forever still 

Can anybody hear their cries? 

Can anybody tell them why? 

You gotta read between their lies 

People die when love is denied 

Can anybody hear their cries? 

Can anybody tell them why? 

You gotta read between their lies 

People die when love is denied 

A waste of time, a waste of life 

Livin' on the edge of a sharp fuckin' knife 

I can't blame you for never being around 

I know you never meant to hurt and bring me down 

Can anybody hear their cries? 

Can anybody tell them why? 

You gotta read between their lies 

People die when love is denied 

Can anybody hear their cries? 

Can anybody tell them why? 

You gotta read between their lies 

People die when love is denied 

Look in their eyes to hear their cries 

And you will see all their pain lying dormant inside 

Now realize as time passes by 

That people die when love is denied
