Years Weigh Down
by In Desperation· from Floods
Boys and girls with their dreams held tight
mother,father
save them from the demons on the outside
cover their eyes, divert their attention
hands full since birth with distraction
Censor the artists, and leave the with the priests
disguised martyrs, who come from innocence so sweet
rotten minds smoke butts in the alleys,
shielding their eyes from the golden paths
"animals" they say, going nowhere fast
Pump the ritalin, to make them feel ok
send them to their rooms for 6 hours a day
money and power, buy the pretty things
a life overflowing with the things they'll never need
Seen the world, naive through a screen
fuck the free mind, restrained you have everything
"how children survive being brought up amazes me"
fuck the free mind
The lambs are brought to slaughter
the shepard has led astray
force fed dissolution, caged and shown the way
we have all been led astray.
