Veils of Innocence

[Verse] I don't know how to face this life, My father says the end's in sight. I want to feel every emotion, To vibrate with my own devotion. He says this house is his domain, But deep inside, I crave love's flame. I climb these stairs, my wounds still raw, My chest aches, screaming's against the law. [Chorus] Close your eyes, dear child, to hide the pain, A parent can't understand your strain. Seal your lips, words won't explain, The colors you paint are yet to gain. You dream of wonders like kids should do, But you're too grown to weave threads through. [Verse] Run, young girl, one step from fate, You've spun your world and sealed your state. You hug a boy in distant dreams, But you don't take his hand, or so it seems. You're too old for castles made of sand, Now rage burns deep, too wild to stand. [Chorus] Close your eyes, dear child, to hide the pain, A parent can't understand your strain. Seal your lips, words won't explain, The colors you paint are yet to gain. You dream of wonders like kids should do, But you're too grown to weave threads through. [Chorus] Close your eyes, dear child, to hide the pain, A parent can't understand your strain. A parent can't understand your pain- Your pain. [Outro] The storms may come, but don't let go- Your dreams are seeds that soon will grow. Let love be strong, let fear be weak, The future's yours, rise up and speak.
