Tonight burnt my out
Hate and shout
You want to walk with me?
You never talk to me
you never even look me in the eyes
It's no suprise
Dishonesty
All the time with me

You say, you said, you say
That you need me
I know, I knew, I know
You don't treat me
Right
I'm running away tonight

Your stabs have
Ripped me to shreds
Left me for dead
And that won't be the end
Those unforgettable words
I can't stop the hurt
I won't let you come
When I run

You say, you said, you say
That you need me
I know, I knew, I know
You don't treat me
Right
I'm running away tonight

You don't need me
You just feed me
Lies
I'm running away tonight

You say, you said, you say
That you need me
I know, I knew, I know
You don't treat me right
I'm running away tonight

Summer's gone by
I said goodbye
To life awhile ago

Warm winds
And my sins
Forgotten long ago

She said the sky
Will smile tonight
And then never again

She said our minds
Will open wide
Engulfing prayers on our fingertips

I think the flowers
Sold our power
to that man we once held dear

the hearts of thousands
Chased their husbands
Down the road to God knows where

That field so empty
and so lonely
has been long ago set free

Our minds were made
To change the ways
of things dealt in the past

Our impurities
so purely
Beautiful in every way

We'll rise against
The wind again
and fly away from here

The most important thing
We'll ever sing
Is how we love ourselves

We'll hear our names
And smile again
Happy for who we are

You've blessed our world
All of you girls
So please just love yourselves

Love yourself

I ran away
today
chased my fears
to here
i smell the new
who knew
life could blister
sister
pop right out
and shout
in your face
your place
in this social hierarchy
you're not free

you're not free
from this destiny
you'll see
fate is a part of everything

and i've talked
the talk
to get to safety
maybe
closed my door
to horrors
it's warm inside
so we'll hide
from the world outside
we cry
but now we're stuck
and out of luck
in a place we cannot see
i guess we're not free

you're not free
from this destiny
you'll see
fate is a part of everything

This city with its burnt out lights
Paints the face of no delight
The inspiration of the sins
To all the kids who live within
The broken streets at all hours
Makes you feel so unempowered

All the buildings with their crumbling stairs
Forgot long ago to hear our prayers
Bridges swaying in the wind
Encouraging apathy to no end
These parkades with their flickering lights
Makes us kids so impolite

The kids have nowhere to go
The kids have nothing to show
The kids have nowhere to go


Leaving here
We'll disappear
Skylines change
We'll never be the same
