lyrics

Verse 1
Mother, this world's so broken, I heard about a man who was killed
His lips were bleeding words unspoken, is this the world our children did build?

Chorus
Now the rocks they cry out for the demons that shout, and crush the lilies while they're in bloom
and the waves smash against the shore it never ends, don't hate them for the evil things they do

And the world oh it spins and the darkness it wins, and all I really want to do is hide, and the people around are never slowing down, my only wish is that I could fly

Verse 2
Mother your little boy's sick, I don't know why my hands are red
Mother I'm scared of what I did, now they've locked me up and left me for dead

Chorus 2
and now I'm crying out 'cuz my demons they shout, they made me crush the girls why they bloomed,
And the jurors didn't like me much so to this chair they strapped me up
I'm sorry mom I really do love you

And the man in the mask he looks at me and laughs, he screams that this is what I deserve, and my head is a mess, I can't catch my breath,
I can't find the perfect final words

Bridge
He was given a count (1,2,3)
They fried his brains out (1,2,3)
The only sound (1,2,3)
Were the screams from his mouth

Chorus 3

And the rocks they cry out for the demons that shout, and crush the lilies while they're in bloom, and the waves smash against the shore it never ends, don't hate them for the evil things they do...

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
