Does anybody know how I feel?
Sometimes I'm numb, sometimes I'm overcome
Does anybody care what's going on?
Do I have to wear my scars like a badge on my arm
For you to see me, I need release

Do I have to scream for you to hear me?
Do I have to bleed for you to see me?
‘Cause I grieve, you're not listening to me
Do I need to scream?

Has anybody seen what's been done?
Where was my defense? No one heard my protest
The eyes of God were watching me
It's time to make my peace, let it go and be released
So I can breathe again
I'm on my knees

I've been marked, set apart
But I'm cut so deep and afraid of the dark
One drop of blood from the hole in Your hand
Is enough to heal me and make me stand

‘Cause I'm clean, He is listening to me

I don't have to scream for Him to hear me
Don't have to bleed for Him to see me
‘Cause I'm clean, He is listening to me
I don't have to scream
I don't have to bleed
‘Cause I'm clean, He is listening
And I don't have to scream

Behind the Song:
"Over the last few years we have been so blessed to be a part of the lives of many young people who have opened up and shared their doubts, struggles and pain with us. Letter after letter has revealed an unspeakable amount of emotional distress brought upon by abuse, neglect, rejection and heartache. This pain can overwhelm and overtake a young person and lead them into all kinds of different self-destructive behaviors. We've ministered to countless girls that are dealing with eating disorders, secret drug and alcohol abuse, depression, and most alarming, self-mutilation or "cutting" as it's referred to among young people. This is a rampant and extremely popular device used to self-medicate the enormous pain, guilt and shame that so many young people face. We've personally met many girls who love God with all their hearts, and on the outside, they look like they are happy, well-adjusted individuals. On the inside, their pain has overtaken them, and has manifested in self-destruction. It's our belief that the only way to bring healing in this area is to help a person understand that Jesus bled so they don't have to.... He called out to God in agony so that they don't have to...He asked: "My God.... why have You forsaken me?" so that that's a question that none of us will ever have to ask. "One drop of blood from the whole in Your hand is enough to heal me and make me stand...and I'm clean...He is listening..."" - Alisa (ZOEgirl)
