Last Breath of Innocence

Nice dream
Kind Miracles
Carpets over the clouds
Castles in the sky
Feet kissing the grass
Arms swinging as I swing along
Nice Dream, Kind Miracles
Eyes shut, looking up to the skies
Hair let loose, flying, keeping up
If there were dreams, I would have dreamt
If there were miracles, I would have lived

Nice dream, Kind miracles
Oh, help me stay put in my life
Saviors snatching away my last toy
Handing over complex ones
My mama’s bosom changed to a reddened ravage
Certain directions convoluted to pipe dreams
My land, my history traded in spirited bourses
Could I just play? Be a normal brat
Or fight? Oh, fight I did,
My trigger flushing out a dozen fountains
Falling a thousand men, and me
Arms swinging as I fall alone
Eyes shut, looking up to the skies
Hair let loose, flying, keeping up
If there were dreams, I would have dreamt
If there were miracles, I would have lived
