It is only us that are ignored just like this
You see it too
Don't deny it too
Certainly unusual
Yet we call it "law"
"Ignorance is bliss," but the world's sesenses are dulled
Can't see a thing
Can't see anything
So beautiful
How beautiful the poison blooms
Adorn my neck with chains while everyone laughs
On my forehead, stamp the label, "Justice for society"
"Just be yourself even if it is what can kill you"
Yet there's
"Anything but you..."
How many times?
How many?
Lost count
Will what once was ours be stolen and repainted
In a new hue?
Who knows?
Please darling don't
Be blind like
The stumbling world
I will feed you the raw truth
Stripped of sweet frosted lies
Call me an outsider, the only time they don't lie
I'm a puzzle piece
Among broken pottery
I rather burn up than sit in shadows called "shade"
Do not follow your heart, despite what they say
Unless your heart
Is focused on the truth
Darling, you will be the one who's swept away
The "fairy tales" they poke fun at are old memories
The enemy walks like a sheep with
A jaw lined with fake diamond teeth
Did you ever look in the mirror and see the dark stains
No matter what we believe
We all are cursed the same
But if you just look up...
How many times?
How many?
No one cares
They planted roses in their hearts
But the thorns remain, slowly choking away
How I want to save them
If only
I could breathe
The rotting corpses crawl on
Until nothing is left to move on
Oh God, let the children become fruitful after all
If decades blow over my life
Let their words become yours
For they will never fade away
Even if you
Close your eyes
Shake and break them until they are free
The colors of your promise are parading away
A birthday and death glossed in cheap plastic
My child, I will make you into a soldier like me
March with me in the army
Even if the path ahead is unseen
Keep your eyes to the sky for a better view
Never forget what's right
Never forget what's wrong
Even if it hurts...
How many times?
How many?
Can you count?
Will the people trade in their morals
To get drunk on reality?
Cut your hands off, darling
If it's what
Sobers you
The rose petals are wilting
Yet they ignore the pain
I will not
I cannot
I won't go along
What is just
So beautiful
About any of this?
They're coming
They're coming
Closing right in
Give it back
So confused
So don't blame us anymore!
What once was ours
I can't recognize
I try so hard to remember the forgotten past
"This world was never yours
To even
Begin with!"
How many times?
How many?
Don't you see?
Will what was once ours be stolen and covered up?
I peel the dirty
Bandages off
They will still blame me
Just us
And never change
Yet here I will remain
And my heart will believe the same
All I can do is pray
If I perish
Let it be
Take this lawless domain away
And instead lead me to the king
Please darling don't be
Blind like
The stumbling world
And will you join me then
After what you have seen?
On my forehead, stamp the label
"Justice for society..."
