Cadence Noir - A Reckless Endeavour Lyrics

This is not about my life
This is not about my dreams
I am just a child in an adult shell
Hanging on by the seams
This is not a choice you drop
Not a path walked in vain
Running on and on until my heart stops
Or you take away my pain

Let me reminisce if I may
Of a place we did go, of a time, an idea
Of a peace we'd all know
Instead of this broken world draped in shadow
Of fear and sorrow. Bloodstained

This is a burden I can't bear alone
I ask of you bear it with me
Tear down the statuettes, shatter the thrones
Open your eyes and you'll see a new way

Try though we may it just seems
As though we cannot break through
Society's ideas say our thoughts will not do
Are we too far gone can we not undo
Lay a new path to follow for you
