Twenty Three

Twenty three when did we become grown? I never noticed the seeds of the cynic being sown / Will we starve will the harvest time reap / Freedom or chains hope or disdain for the weak?

Twenty three when did we become safe? We pray to feel pleasure / and hate when we have to feel pain.

Chorus 1 : Let me see / your burn / let me see your bruise / You look just like me / Let me see / where you’re broken in two.

We pretend when we / find the end of ourselves / Afraid to be real so we say that we’re somebody else / Little ones / teach the big to be free / Children are only un-costumed humanity

Chorus 2: While we wait here in the dark / love lends a spark / But we can’t decide / ‘Cause coming back to life / is harder than hell / Once you have died.

Finally I can see with your eyes / That everyone angry is only just aching inside / Twenty-three / when the sun sets tonight / There’s always a reason we just cannot leave it behind.
