A Hopeful Lament

Come here, my child
Hold still your faith
Carry on your way back home
Sweet life, my child
Embrace the light
May God grant strength in your bones
And to the stars we aim for bright
To be suffocated overnight
Act now, my child
For yours is life
Carry on your way back home
At least you're suffering, yeah
I gotta smile on my face
I gotta smile on my face
You wouldn't let me in, hmm
I'm someone to replace
I'm someone to replace
Cause I know
Something is about to change
And I know
I'm gonna like it more that way
But you don't you don't you don't you don't
You don't you don't you don't
You made me independent
That's who I am now
Tarnished skin
Bandaged with two feet on the ground
Check the speed on your front door
You couldn't hurt me anymore
Did you even try?
Cause it ended with goodbye
You don't you don't you don't you don't
You don't you don't you don't you don't
You don't you don't you don't wooooah
You don't you don't you don't
You - you don't
