If the sky
Should fall onto my head
You think I'd cry
But I just laugh instead
Candy fell
It fell from on high
You tempted them
Then you denied
I've seen the lies and
Endless denials
Churn all the while in the hearts of friends
Take back the silence
Turn off the violence
Burning defiance in the worthless souls of men
Shake my bones
They shook me to my core
We all know now
What you were fighting for
Hope is here
Don't take it far from me again
With all the tears
And this lifetime of shame
Worthless souls
How can you live in your own skin?
Your time is done
While ours it just begins
I've seen the lies and
Endless denials
Churn all the while in the hearts of friends
Take back the silence
Turn off the violence
Burning defiance in the worthless souls of men
Burning defiance in the worthless souls of men
Burning defiance in the worthless souls of men
