Trading truth for comfort lost in soft emotion
Opinions change like seasons void of real devotion
Hearts fed on nothing but hollow sympathy
Can't stand the sight of our own apathy
Running on borrowed time forced to know too young
Giving them battles they never begun
We're sinking in our own empty show
A house of cards that we all know
Blindfolded guided by glitter and greed
We sold our souls just to get what we need
Bound by desires oh so sweet and numb
We've lost our way in the echo of a drum
Turning kids to symbols lost before they start
Teaching them to shout before they know their hearts
A tug of war they never chose to play
Selling their youth watching innocence decay
Running on borrowed time forced to know too young
Giving them battles they never begun
We're sinking in our own empty show
A house of cards that we all know
Blindfolded guided by glitter and greed
We sold our souls just to get what we need
Bound by desires oh so sweet and numb
We've lost our way in the echo of a drum
Pleasure as purpose wealth as a god
Making life easy while our minds rot and nod
Raised for a cause not for joy or truth
Shadows of adults stealing their youth
Blindfolded guided by glitter and greed
We sold our souls just to get what we need
Echoes of freedom lost in cries of pride
We've left the truth somewhere back in time
Blindfolded led by a hollow dream
Trapped in our desires splitting at the seams
Can we wake up or is it far too late
To reclaim a soul that we forsake?
