I know the young ones are suffering
I know the old ones all died
but every time I take a breath
I feel the worlds collide

don’t offer me your promises
don’t offer me your gold
the end of life is innocence
the end of life is sold

so give me all your honesty
so give me all your love
if you are worth your weight in life
you’ll suffer it tonight

at times when feeling lonely
when I have no place to go
does everyone sense my sorrow
all I hear is "I told you so"

you came into my heart
saying that you'll always understand
now I hear complaining
and all I want is someone's hand

and I sleep on a pillow
crying for one that tears my heart
and I say to the mirror
that these tears have to stop

why is this path so complicated
why do we have to crave
crave a love not understated
do we take this to the grave

I want the truth
eternal youth
legs that swim
arms that hold

I want to breath
and see the trees
fall on my knees
and feel the earth
and dream of years so far away

I asked to hold your hand
just one more time
I asked to feel your breath
just one more time

the things I asked of you
in my world so lonely
are things I'll never have
and in dreams you hold me

if an angel had come to be
and only warned me
I would never of let go
of your hand that warmed me

so now I ask again
to a world that left me only
I ask you feel my last breath
and be ready again, to hold me*

my heart is aching
I think you broke it
my world is shaking
I think you stole it

what I believed
I believe no more
what I conceived
is not like before

my eyes are waking
I need to close them
the world I'm seeing
Is full of poison
