Growing up with our eyes spread wide So we can look across the spectrum of shades When the sand turns into stone we see the world’s black and white become grey Holding onto all my values Letting go of all I’ve been through Innocence is lost to greed and the sweet becomes a bitter taste Friendship grown from chemistry Now rivals in a constant race Holding onto all my values Letting go of all I’ve been through The last repentance Burning in the flames Those who cross me will remember my name Sinking my teeth Into life and d**h Ripping the flesh from my former self As long as blood’s still flowing red I still need your words in my head Waking life has no cure for spite I want to stay asleep with my teeth clenched tight And I’ll never wake up from a dream Where the road always leads To the promise of peace and a slate wiped clean Keeping up on my history Hanging from the family tree As long as blood’s still flowing red I Still need your words in my head
