Withhold acceptance

When we so easily forgive a child

Never asking twice for another

But we tell ourselves that we know better

An attempt to cauterize the mistakes

Love was branded on your skin

And now it sinks deeper

Ignite the innocence, the panic

Another night as unknowing takes

(The panic)

Another night of the time, to breathe

(Abandoned)

Now your eyes turn to your soul

And punish the inner child

Whose laughter you have stolen

Corrupting his freedom

Burden to another

(Orphaned, unseen)

Burden to another

Replaced by a sin, panic

Another night as unknowing takes

(The panic)

Another night of the time, to breathe

(Abandoned)

Ruthless acts in the black to go back to the garden

That is all it ever was, a selfish bargain

Ruthless acts in the black to go back to the garden

Between the love and the dissipation

You chose to walk

Burden to another

(Orphaned, unseen)

Burden to another

(Martyr for nothing)
