The Anger of the Innocent

I am your tomorrows...
And I am your today
I am the shadows you live in,
Yes, I am all your shame
I am the future that beckons,
And then, is stolen away

I am everything in your life,
That you could never change

(Every forbidden kiss,
Felt upon the lips of the innocent...)

I am the things that you thought you had,
All those feelings that were oh, so bad,
The times you felt happy, but were still so sad,
All the evil that you did, that you made you so glad...

I know why you felt...that way...
I understand all...of the pain...

I am your forever, that never seems so near
I am all the sorrow, that always seems so clear
I am all the passion, when you wonder where it went
I am the horror, at all the lives you've spent
Look deep into my eyes, and find that I,
Am the anger of the innocent...

Thoughts and dreams, so frustrating,
You just need, someone to tell you what it all means...

I am all your loss...
Every day that you give in
I am the cost...
Of all of your sins
I am the journey you seek,
But you refuse to look within

I am the answers you need,
My anger is where we will begin

(Every forbidden kiss,
Felt upon the lips of the innocent...)

I am the things you thought you wanted,
But when reaching for them, felt so daunted
I am your ceiling, so high and vaulted,
I am the things, that you've forgotten...

I know why...you feel this way...
I...understand...all of your pain...

I am your forever, that never seems so near
I am all the sorrow, that always seems so clear
I am all the passion, when you wonder where it went
I am the horror, at all the lives you've spent
Look deep into my eyes, and find that I,
Am the anger of the innocent...

Thoughts and dreams, so frustrating,
You just need, someone to tell you what it all means...

I am every touch,
That has scarred your heart and soul,
Makes you want to die and kill so much,
And you just can't let it go

I am the betrayal
I am the love gone stale
I am the body that you don't own,
That always seems to be for sale...

I am every forbidden kiss,
Felt upon the lips of the innocent...

I am everything in your life,
That you could never change
I am the beauty and wonder,
That you must always forsake
I understand just why, you feel this way...

Because I have lived your life, and I have lived all your fucking pain...!

I am your tomorrows...
And I am your today!
I am the shadows you live in,
Yes, I am all your shame!
I am the future that beckons,
And then! Is stolen away!

I am everything in your life,
That you could never change...!

I am your forever, that never seems so near!
I am all the sorrow, that always seems so clear!
I am the never, that reaches for you every night!
But I am also your eternity, yes, I am your light!
I am all the passion, when you wonder where it went!
I am the horror, at all the lives you've spent!
Look deep into my eyes, and find that I...!
Am the anger of the innocent!
