Your stolen innocence lost beyond recovery A cold ambivalence desecrates that memory A warped reality an expectation spurned Lost in banality And paradise burned Scars cross your tender flesh Your world is torn apart A black malaise no words of praise can sooth your aching heart Lost an weary stained and dreary Still your life goes on Cold and Jaded joys have faded Soon they will be gone Clinging to sanity the walls are closing in Trapped in venality the cycle starts again Seeking security an expectation spurned I mourned your purity And paradise burned Scars cross your tender flesh Your world is torn apart A black malaise no words of praise can sooth your aching heart Lost an weary stained and dreary Still your life goes on Cold and Jaded joys have faded Soon they will be gone
