lyrics

I never understood what happen to the youthful innocence that everyone exists to leave this place immaculate. I honestly have tried to walk in others shoes to see what I have left to lose.

It's inevitable. I saw it coming from miles away. I want to believe that we as a race are not quite as doomed.

But I'm on a broken ledge grasping to insecure holdings. I am unsure of myself. At 28 I feel too naive to keep trusting. How many times can I keep starting over. Becoming redundant. We forge on.
