Take Two
If it was up to me
We�d plant more then just a single tree
Our lives are worn beyond a doubt
But all you ever seem to do is shout�
Our names to the cracked concrete of a shaded alley street
We�ve long since gone
No longer your little pawn
Back to the day when I didn�t know
I�ve been caught up in my own flow
Bouncing off to rick-a-shay again
Even the walls of the pen�
Can�t keep us down
We are alive�
Never seen us cry�
You�re so used to being blind
You�re content to watch us fall
With out a reason why
Don�t you care about our life?
Guess not�you never put up a fight.
The courtroom days are over
Forget the trial we require
No mater we�ll in the fire�y
Pits of Hell, you watch us burn
We were never your concern
A plea, a cry�they easily die
The gap is back�see the knife on the rack?
Take our pride
Turn it into nothing
Were we ever bluffing?
You say�
� �Time will tell.��
Whether we live or die
See the unshed tears in my eyes
Create a mask to�
Hide the pain you feel inside
Flinch once at the cry
Your baby bird is nothing more
But a hole in the floor of�
Mother Earth received them back
Almost completely intact
Except that our minds are worn
Not knowing how to settle the final score
We�re wasted to the core
Pick us up
We�ll flee again
This time play track number ten
It�s not a sin to try to beat time
But then why do you try to tell us it�s a crime?
All we ever seem to be is wrong
The confusion is thicker then the fog
I�m not saying we�re never wrong
But fuck!�you can be so cold
If this is what happens
I�m never growing old!
I�m tired of all your lies
The regret in your glossy eyes
You ask us where we�re going
But you really don�t care
We�re just worse for ware
An embarrassment since the day we were born
You neglect us still some more
The little men have tied you down
But then handed you the crown
Who made you the boss of me?
You once told me I could be free
