Tears trickle down my face as I sit and wait.
The silence, the lightning, all makes me frightened.

when you smile I can't hear it the screaming of my demons.
When you smile all my pain wane and fade away my shaking heart.

My aching heart's awaiting,  wondering what's missing.
Iv'e been dreaming for a while now old dreams with a furrowed brow,
but When you smile I can't hear it the screaming of my demons. when you smile all my pain fades and wane away my shaking heart.

There was a time when we were innocent, naive, and content , but we grew up.
Some sooner than others,but defaced by life's brute evasion nonetheless.

So innocent we were; danger was no further than the hard wood floor where cushioned pillows and books were our safety to the door, but we grew up.
Faced with hunger, desire, and needs; disgraced for difference, overwhelmed by ****** greed.

There was a time when we were innocent when emotions were simple.
We laughed when we were happy, cried when we were sad, but we grew up.
We learned there were tears of happiness and laughter within the pain deep inside our chest.
We discovered emotions weren't simple; they're more than 123, a thing to keep hidden, or deemed unfit to lead.

So innocent we were when "I love you" meant the world. An intangible bond between us and our Guardian, yet we grew up.
"I love you" are fighting words you have to prove, feel, and fear  'cause it can **** and heal all in the same gear.

Yes,  there was a time when we were innocent then a knock came upon the door. All glasses were shattered  and our innocence nevermore.
