Lost My Innocence
I stand here, thinking of my past
I stand here, wondering what’s going on
I look around me, noticing the difference
I see people roaming ‘round in circles, not knowing what to do
I stand here knowing things are different
Nothing is as it had seemed
I stand loosing control,
Because things are not as I’d been told
I know that I’ve lost my innocence
I stand here, remembering how things were
Curled up in my bed of security
Now I’m all alone, seeking for something more
But what I’ve seen isn’t helping me
I see now, that I am changing
It’s consuming, the craziness around me
I know that it won’t be long
But please tell me what I must do till then
I’m seeing things clearer now
I know what I must do
Even though it sounds insane
I must tell them the truth
It’s because I know….
I’ve lost my innocence
