What you wouldn't notice with your open mind
Is that your wrists are bleeding and your tongue is tight
Do you remember we were all the only infants
And we would stand then back to back against the elements
But you grew strong and left us there to join the big game
Where you learned lies that made the hurts of old seem so tame
Back in those days we had respect for all the innocence
And we never dreamed of drowning in all the selfish decadence
But you had a change of heart that robbed you of your compassion
And left you choices that controlled your every action
