Remember when we were young
What would we do for fun
The brain had applications
Forms of imagination
Waking up to the sun
Feeling like you'd already won
We had the whole day to dream
What we wanted at our feet
Playing games with our friends
Never got tired for bed
Days filled with innocence
Losing significance
Lost our dreams along the way
Sleep dreading the next day
Locked our hopes away
Now we're lost in this haze
They said grow little girl
We'll make you into something new
But only if you make it through
Looked up with hopeful eyes
Funny how the time flies
Was deceit the final prize
You've lied all this time
Where's my promised life
None of it was true
We have all been betrayed
You don't get used to pain
It gets used to you
All those years went by
My views changed on life
Stressed about more than lights
And seeing past the mortal black sky
I wish I could have known
You had to suffer to grow
Getting here took sacrifice
We were promised paradise
They said grow little girl
We'll make you into something new
But only if you make it through
Looked up with hopeful eyes
Funny how the time flies
Was deceit the final prize
You've lied all this time
Where's my promised life
None of it was true
We have all been betrayed
You don't get used to pain
It gets used to you
Tracing the cursive lines
When we weren't life deprived
All we were told we lies
About the world in grown eyes
Tracing the cursive lines
When we weren't life deprived
All we were told were lies
About the world in grown eyes
