lyrics

Child wake from your dream
Enter back into reality
You dreamed of a world where redemption was possible
But that’s not the way it works

Chorus
Child please listen I have advice for you
Learn to love yourself and live in solitude
There’s no place in this world for us we are all alone
They tell us that we’re special and then cast us to the cold

You spend your life searching for the truth
But they will cast you out as soon as you fail
No one cares about intentions
They say actions are enough to condemn you to hell

You thought that you could learn, you thought one mistake
Wouldn’t burn all that you were
But now look at you, you’re frozen all alone
Alone

(Chorus)

They told you love would conquer all
They told you that you could be someone
They told you all you had to do was try
And all would be forgiven

But now they’ve replaced you, they’ve kicked you down
You are nothing to them; you are their clown
You are a body in a sea of naught, and you will rot
Alone for now

(Chorus)

Oh child I see in your eyes that you do not believe
That when people look at you, the flaws are all they see
You think this world is the place you have seen in your dreams
Maybe we should all just go back to sleep
Because reality is not where we want to be

(Chorus)

Live alone in a cold, cold world
Lock yourself inside your tomb
You might as well be living in the grave
Cause this world will be your doom
Don’t be looking for warmth cause all it will do is burn
All your life you live alone
And no one can save you from your solitude
