MyChildren MyBride - Severance lyrics

I fell asleep a boy
And when I woke I was a man
Forced to mature by this cold
World that surrounds us
What once was so innocent before is now lost
Let down by the elders that we used to trust

We were all meant for so much more than this
No more turning back, no more giving in
Although time has locked us in regret
We won’t back down, this can’t be over yet

We'll water our pillows with candid memories
Praying for things to be the
Way they used to be
Somehow always blaming ourselves
Again and again
Hoping that we will finally see the end
All the broken promises and fallen dreams
Courtesy of our creators
False hope busting out of their seams
They’re becoming such outstanding traitors

No more turning back, no more giving in
We were all meant for so much more than this

A child so small
Locking up everything inside
Scared and alone
The only thing to do is hide
Accepting the decisions that were
Way over our heads hearing the yelling from
Our tear-covered beds
Now with a void that's only half-filled
Cradling the memories that haven’t
Yet been killed
Although time has us locked in regret
We won’t back down, this can’t be over yet
We have coped with the
Pain that is inevitable
Recovered from the deep wound that
Made us so unstable

We'll live ready for tomorrow
Like it was yesterday
Caught up in the past when we
Need to focus on today

We'll flood our pillows with candid memories
Praying for things to be the
Way they used to be
Somehow always blaming ourselves
Again and again
We'll flood our pillows with candid memories
Praying for things to be the
Way they use to be
Hoping that we'll finally see the end

No more turning back, no more giving in
We were all meant for something
So much more than this
