felt the crushing cross I drank hemlock with Socrates and barely felt the loss I saw the stars with Nicolai and saw the world go 'round and felt the condemnation of the people that I found stare into the fire see the dancing flame minutes become hours nobody's to blame everyone's just afraid to admit or face fear so sacrifice the truth sayers so no one is aware we're all just selfish children looking out for our own never finding what we're looking for cuz it can't be found alone we're all just lonely children bitter about our fate but let's pretend that we don't die as if the truth can wait I felt the fire with Moses and carved the words in stone I touched the stars with Pericles and took the fall alone I saw energy with Albert E. saw beyond time and space and felt the emptiness swallow the hope of the human race and all there was left was insecurity fear of everything no identity everyone just gives up because everyone else does and pretend the truth sayers message never was we're all just selfish children looking out for our own never finding what we're looking for cuz it can't be found alone we're all just lonely children bitter about our fate but let's pretend that it's alright as if the truth can wait and I sang with John and Paul watched the tears, heard the screams and I prayed with every Pope felt the fears, felt the need I am desperation's child nothing left to say once I grew free and wild then I was defiled now I slowly fade away I am desperation's child nothing left to say b r e a t h e |
