My Children

Say it again that you'll never be my friend
Maybe soon you will believe it yourself
I see the world slipping away, now
The sky falls and the night has killed day

I can't breathe it in
I can't let it go

(Chorus)
Look into the sun
The sun has no sight
I hated it once and I hate it again
My child won't see my light

Bringing them in is like taking them out
Maybe soon you will believe it yourself
I see myself slipping away, now
All is falling and you've lost your faith

I can't breathe it in
I can't let it go

(repeat chorus)

Take it out of my head
It's a horror to me
A nightmare so loud
I can't think without screaming
... we must grow new

(repeat chorus)
