Innocence

(album: The Airborne Toxic Event - 2009)

Well, I lost my innocence today
I could feel her in my bones
My bones, my bones, my bones
My blood, my blood, my blood, my blood

And I woke up, tired, scared, and sad
So drained, I felt so bad
Today, today, today
What'd you steal, you steal, you steal, you steal
Won't you say, you say, you say, you say
What you feel, you feel, you feel, you feel
Which is nothing but hollow, thin as air
I could die, I just don't care

And forget happiness, I'm fine
I'll forget everything in time
I swear I didn't know,
You know me, how I can't let go
And we're not gods, we're just hacks
All that light follows the cracks
The scars, the siege that breaks
The ugliest scenes, the worst mistakes
And everywhere I see her face
Such a beautiful child, such an awful waste
And there's no innocence like hers
Just emptiness and nerves

And this light from the window of my car
She'll never see it
Oh my God
I was so surprised, it blew up in my face
Lord, I lost my nerve, oh my God
Oh my God
Oh my
God

And I tear, I tear, so hard
And I tear, I tear, so hard
And I beg and scream, "I was wrong"
It's over, she's gone
