Chris Rivers - Innocence lyrics

[Intro] Waking up to see that everything is okay The first time in my life and now it’s so great Slowing down I look around And I am so amazed I think about the little things that make life great I wouldn’t change a thing about it [Verse 1] So as my pen would meet the page I see that I have been encaged Locked inside the gates of rage I pray that this is just a phase Camera lights don’t penetrate I see the shade upon the stage And a world that needs a save because the darkness is embraced I heard the screams and seen the murder scenes Fiends who burn and hurt your dreams Need morphine for the pain that’s warping feeling like an offering Created god for moral comforting but treats us like we’re lesser beings If this world was perfect yes you heard it wouldn’t change a thing [Hook] And the murderers and burglars they take away this (innocence) And the rapists and the racists yeah they take away this (innocence) And the greedy and misleading yeah they take away this (innocence) This innocence [Verse 2] Now the seas are rising climbing 'til they reach the skies Disguising, as we reach for light we’re touching darkness, d**h and violence I think life just needs defining and this world just needs refining Need to read between the lines Not spread lies and then defiance Spread some peace and love and science and the knowledge to apply it Realize each of us are small but as a unit we are giant I am making my deposit but I’m withdrawing my conscious Cause I put my heart into it but my brain is still deciding I am drowning in this silence Where the f** is this Poseidon Yeah we pray but we need guidance like a h*mo needs a closet It’s irrelevant Claim that you are heaven sent But everyone is equal, disagree you lack intelligence Blinded by your negligence Blinded by these necklaces Message is in this world it seems that only d**h is the perfectionist [Hook] [Outro] Yeah I just don’t understand sometimes, it’s like The Bible should have been just one page You know just don’t be a dick Just like bold and italic right there because that’s really all that matters in this world Is be a good person like I don’t know why People just have to be bad all the time, just like Focus on, you can focus on yourself you can make your own moves But at the same time, just realize that everything you do affects the people around you And only don’t try to focus on something aggressive, focus on everyone Trying to get by You know what I mean just a little bit of selflessness, but It’s hard to be selfless in a selfish world
