Throw your children to the fire again
and leave them to burn for all of your sins
Tangled in this wicked web we spin
with wars waged against ourselves that we cant win

Are we too numb to succumb to these feelings anymore?
Are we so apathetic that we forget whats in store?
Hoping, pleading
now in retrospect
Broken, bleeding
from all the neglect

Why should I stand with my heart in my hands,
just to see it get ripped from my grip once again?

And over again

Is this something we can not evade,
standing here upon our last legs?
Taught from the cradle to the grave
that this is the way we should be

The way we should be

Are we so bartered, brokered, bought and sold as if were ******?
Selling ourselves bit by bit, piece by piece to the core
Hoping, pleading
now in retrospect
Broken, bleeding
from all the neglect

Why should I stand with my heart in my hands,
just to see it get ripped from my grip once again?

And over again.

Is this something we can not evade?
Standing here upon our last legs
Taught from the cradle to the grave
that this is the way we should be

The way we should be
