the damned ones raise good sons and daughters follow their fathers
here you are burning stars hoping for anything at all
there they go throwing stones into a bucket of sorrows
only time passes by with you here i can see clearer now
all that i’d ever want and all that i’d ever need is taken from her hands and laid down in a scene and all that we ever are
in this space shadows trace a feeling without any meaning
surely now you have found the colors to show to your mother
even still darkness spills but you hold it into your stomach
they burned you they spurned you they killed you and nothing is clearer now
all that we’d ever want and all that we’d ever need is lost inside the grave is rolled up in your sleeve and all that we cry out for is beaten and it’s taken away it’s lost inside a thought before the dawning day and all that they took from you your goodness and your innocent grace they pushed you on the floor they spat upon your face and all that you ever saw was a god that only knows how to break they put away your soul i want to sing your name
