Can I open up and find the words again
Tell u what I'm looking for
Always living up to these dark fantasies
Only meant to put me at war
Lost my innocence at the hand of God
Played my spirit like a drum
Called my youth some cold tragedy
But there's nothing left to win looking back
Will I turn back, cut off the world from me
Is it who I really am
Blind cold paralyzing empathy
Lost to the dark so I can't give a damn
Lost my innocence at the hand of God
Played my spirit like a drum
Called my youth some cold tragedy
But there's nothing left to win looking back
Don’t it come down to your foolish ways
Can’t see the future in the pain
And don’t you feel lost in all of this fray
Or are you only gonna stay the same
Lost my innocence at the hand of God
Played my spirit like a drum
Called my youth some cold tragedy
But there's nothing left to win looking back
