We are the children you reject
And disregard,
These aching cries come
From the bottom of our hearts,
You can't disown us now,
We are your own flesh and blood
And we don't disappear
Just because your eyes are shut,
Now tell me…
Love, loss like a bullets path
Tear through the cavity of my chest,
Light's out because the fuse has blown
[Chorus:]
As their castles crumble slowly
We watch them fall,
The crown slips from heads unworthy
As we gain control
This is the family that we crossed
Or never had,
This is a war that was lost
The day that it began,
Cause it's the race we run
But it keeps us at the start,
And it's the song I sung
From the bottom of my heart,
That's how we…
Read you like a polygraph,
Not one single bone in your back,
Own up to how you let us down
[Chorus]
Except for you and me, love,
Everyone is the same,
We know, we know, we know, we know.
But if to live we have to be numb
I'd rather know the pain,
I'd rather know, I'd rather know…
This happens almost never
But it happened once to me,
And this will never be same,
The ends we seam together…
I'm not after fame and fortune,
I'm after you,
When I've served my time I swear
I will come back for you
As their castles crumble slowly
We watch them fall,
The crown slips from heads unworthy
Right on to ours, but I'm after you…
