Memories come flood my mind
Reminding me of better times
When everything seemed alright
When everything was not a fight
The innocence is lost
At any cost
Do you remember how simple
Life used to be
Children playing laughing for free
Now to smile they gladly pay a fee
We decide to let it go
Oh no
For reasons why I don’t know
Oh no
We let it go
The innocence is gone
No longer here
Now there’s more to lose
More to fear
Unless we learn to let this go
This haunting emptiness will grow
Changing all that that’s high to low
The tides are turning I know
The days are falling to darkness
The color’s fading to grey
Leaving nothing but ashes
It feeds on my soul
We’re losing control
Take hold of our fate
Before it’s too late
Waste away in the stillness of the night
Hypnotized by the blinding light
Starring into the mirror with dead cold eyes
They’re trying to take me away
The world is getting colder now
We need to find our way somehow
Locked away from the love
You could have had
Killing time on pointless games
Trade your soul for empty promises
Loosing sight of what is real
They’re trying to take me away
They’re trying to take our innocence
