how did you ever come to expect this
all to turn out so swell?
Oh, did you ever develop a conscience?
or just another point to sell?
(yeah, we grew up. ..at such an early age.)

It's from the pits inside this hard sale
that I know you'll watch.
And here I come, crash and flail.
to you, just another cost.
as you walk away, laugh it off;
I guess it's time to start my will.
now you've flooded the whole damned market.
and now everything is going to hell.
(yeah, we grew up at such an early age, at such repulsive rates!)

Well now, here it has started snowing;
the flakes, they take their epic drop.
And as I run to catch them upon my tongue,
all dignity is lost.
(to the flames of our youth, who here soon,
be squelched and grow into something so awful!)

But never before had I felt so pure;
so indiscrete, so young.
In complete deviance; a reality's
given, oh so oblivious to god!
(she cried, "you can never be too oblivious! now just go ahead
and forget that path down which you have come.")

And these days, destroying something so infinite
is defined as the past-time of some age
when we all stood so naive and arrogant,
trusting life held no thing we could not achieve.
(we were all so pure. so, so... so strong.)
["the past! but what has passed cannot be taken back!"]

But lately, we've been keeping quite busy,
just trying to destroy all the pressure
as it's caving-in on all four sides
behind the corpses of these innocent lives.
(lost in the molds, all choked on these lies.
all choked by these lies, with no violence spared.)

"And at first I thought we were like brothers,
but by the end he had taught me, we all have our own struggle."

And we leave their bodies unburied,
stripped and beaten for each eye to see.
For here, innocence gains but broken jaws
under the weeping gaze of maturity.

(we live life like jealousy...)
