What a sorry sight we are
Our faces are pale
Hair is ***** and matted
The "clothes" we wear are rags sewn together
We eat what the rats leave
The scars on our arms are memories
Of what we left for this
We were scorned and persecuted
Because we were wrapped in light
Now we can't escape darkness
Our smiles were slapped off of our faces
The best we can do is paint them back on
They replaced our crowns with thorns
And we let them!
We were mocked for respecting our Father
So we ran away from home
We were fearless
But now we cower from our own shadows
We **** our dreams and devour their wings
We're monsters who once were knights
And yet our Father still holds His arms wide open
He wants us to come home
But our own thoughts hold us back
It's not our tormentors' fault anymore
They can't stop us from leaving
But we think they can
So we grit our teeth
As the b;ade greets us
Crimson tears blur our vision
Of our loving Father

I'm calling you out, fear
You're always near
In my head, in my dreams
I don't even know what living means
My thoughts should not be a hiding place
But it's the only place I find silence
The fact that I might dream is no consolation
They make me see terror and realization
I realize that life is pain
And I hide away along with my shame
I'm calling you out fear
To slap off your snear
You coward who stops us from living
I think you should be leaving
You're not welcomed here
We've got dreams to dream
Things to see
Songs to sing
Joy to bring
To a world that's broken
Words of love that have been unspoken
We are a generation
That needs to bring them motivation

Could you believe I wasn't always like this?
I had a heart and conscience
But I have been silenced
The smile I wore wasn't painted
I was filled with sheer joy
But my fragile heart grew weary and fainted
And everything I once held dear has been destroyed
You are the enemy
Who tries to justify all of your evil deeds
Well, I'm not so stupid
To let you make me the villain
Your reasons are lucid
When you think you're as complex as an illusion
You're wondering what comes next
I'm letting you know now
Your kingdom's tumbling down
I'm rising up from the grave
I'm tired of you telling me to behave
You aren't my jail warden anymore
I've been set free by redemption
I don't answer to you anymore
I'm a part of the new generation
That will bring hope
To the world
I know you for who you are
You're a coward who feeds off my needs
And you haven't gotten that far
In your attempt to make me bleed
It's time for you to leave
The world is ours

I trusted you
Gave you all that was due
But you took that trust and trashed it
Burned it
You take beauty
And turn it into something ugly
I don't know what to do
I find another bruise
This is the last time
I let you try your game on me
It's time for you to leave
We'll never see each other again, ever
Goodbye forever

The natural dark of your skin
The black mess of hair that shines
The sound of your low and gentle voice
Your beautifully built figure
Broad chest
Flawless face
Your hipnotic eyes
The way you hold yourself
That nothing is impossible attitude
I don't want to want you
But my hand fits just right in yours
Your winning smile makes me smile
Life is simple with you
So hold my hand
And never let it go

Should I let you go,
Like you let me go?
Or should I never forget you,
As strongly as you forgot me?
When you gave me a token
I kept it, held it dear to my heart
But you left me
With nothing but a token
I feel like I should also forget
Throw out the token
Burn it, discard it
But I can't
You gave it especially to me
I'm closer to you,
Than you are to me
I can never depart from this token
The part of 'you' that will never leave me
