Shattered Innocence

By:

Where there was life, there is only death
Where there was love, there is only hate
The light fades, and darkness overcomes
With this newfound knowledge, do you realize
only now do you see the world with open eyes
You thought about the meaning of it all,
that thought which cast you here, at the end of your fall

What you lost, you now in the world can see,
and drown yourself in discord and misery.
It's in the eyes of a child, to whom you give your last plea
and now that you're in your hole, your only thought is to flee

Where there was life, there is only death
Where there was love, there is only hate
The light fades, and darkness overcomes.
That shell that is my heart that died long ago
when I discovered the thing that has brought me so low.
Now in the Bible it says " Knowledge is sorrow..."
I wish the writer could have found a different phrase to borrow.

With my newfound knowledge came sorrow, no longer care-free
'Cause that knowledge I found was that nothing matters, not even me
All the things we do for better or for worse, will never let us be free
and with that pain of loss I've found the key
I had lost my innocence,
From just wanting not to wallow in ignorance...
