I′m looking down into the eyes of hopelessness They′re crying out to me I see the pain it′s so much more than youth should know It tears me apart What can I do to change what I see This vicious cycle must come to an end
[CHORUS:] Can′t you see, we′re crushing the hearts of the innocent We′re teaching them to fail And how it breaks me to see how we′re living and punishing the ones that need us to care To see them hurting Feels like knuckles to the back of my head
Where have the days gone that a promise was forever Families stuck together
We wonder why their generation struggles to get by There′s no one to help what can I do to change what I see This vicious cycle must come to an end
I guess you really did it this time Left yourself in your warpath Lost your balance on a tightrope Lost your mind tryin’ to get it back
Wasn’t it easier in your lunchbox days? Always a bigger bed to crawl into Wasn’t it beautiful when you believed in everything? And everybody believed in you?
It’s all right, just wait and see Your string of lights is still bright to me Oh, who you are is not where you’ve been You’re still an innocent You’re still an innocent
There’s some things you can’t speak of But tonight you’ll live it all again You wouldn’t be shattered on the floor now If only you would sing what you know now then
Wasn’t it easier in your firefly-catchin’ days? And everything out of reach, someone bigger brought down to you Wasn’t it beautiful runnin’ wild ’til you fell asleep? Before the monsters caught up to you?
It’s all right, just wait and see Your string of lights is still bright to me Oh, who you are is not where you’ve been You’re still an innocent
It’s okay, life is a tough crowd 32, and still growin’ up now Who you are is not what you did You’re still an innocent
Time turns flames to embers You’ll have new Septembers Every one of us has messed up too
Lives change like the weather I hope you remember Today is never to late to Be brand new
It’s all right, just wait and see Your string of lights are still bright to me Oh, who you are is not where you’ve been You’re still an innocent
It’s okay, life is a tough crowd 32, and still growin’ up now Who you are is not what you did You’re still an innocent
mother can you hold me one more time again whisper "I still love youі in my ear mother did you lie would you tell me why there is something deeper that I fear
justify the evil I portray daggers in the darkness find your way when the moon is full and piercing bright drench me with your innocence tonight
don′t you want to die walk beside me evermore don′t you feel alive like you′ve never felt before visions of the future unprofound and blurred I have passed the point of no return
justify the evil I portray let me keep my beauty one more day when the moon is full and piercing bright drench me with your innocence tonight don′t you want to die walk beside me evermore don′t you feel alive like you′ve never felt before
don′t you want to die souls transcending, silver shine don′t you feel alive your blood preserves my place in time
She woke up, all in sweat and screaming. She saw her fate when she was dreaming. Why? Such a young girl did no crime.
And then his bony hand came reaching. "Young girl, I′ll be your guide, we′re learing How, it′s the end of all your time".
Save me! And in her dreams She had to face her very end. Save me! She saw the ashes of her life, So innocent.
"You must let me go, please for sake me. Won′t someone help me or just wake me. I don′t deserve this early end".
"This life ain′t fair, that′s not the meaning. I′m only here to help, believe me And I am mercy, heaven sent".
Save me! And in her dreams She had to face her very end Save me! She saw the ashes of her life, So fragile, She saw the ashes of her life, So innocent.
She started crying like a baby, Screamed for her mother, cursed the day of birth. But the reaper took her hand.
