July 2010

Cushion me with the padded walls of my youth
Hide me from the pain, shield me from the truth.
Take me back to where I belong
Where everything is right and nothing could go wrong.
I wanna see through the eyes of a child again
Wipe the slate clean of every single sin.
Take me back and make me naive
I’d give anything to go back, to go back and believe.

I wake up every morning without the strength to pray
Everything is work and nothing feels like play
I get so depressed sometimes I don’t know what to do
So pick me up, let me out, and most importantly, pull me through.

Cushion me with the padded walls of my youth
Hide me from the pain, shield me from the truth.

Everything is scary the more that I grow old
Empty thoughts and motion; people can be so cold.
There was a time I could be me, and lunch could still be free.
I knew who I was and that’s because I still had the chance, the chance to be.

Cushion me with the padded walls of my youth
Hide me from the pain, shield me from the truth.
Take me back to where I belong
Where everything is right and nothing could go wrong
I wanna see through the eyes of a child again
Wipe the slate clean of every single sin
Take me back and make me naïve
I’d give anything to go back, to go back and believe.
