Innocence Is Death

Hold your head up high...
You know it is such a long way down.
Don't trip on the stair Kid, that latter means nothing.
It's better to spark and fade than just burn out.

Rip a hole in the sky and show me stardust
Kid on the moon says "Hey I can see my house!"
He's a Liar and a Thief- He never left his room, left his womb.

Say to the Old Man on the Corner that I'm sorry
Tell Him Santa is coming, tell Him it's his Dad
Pull the tie on the drawstring dreams of life
Pull a hopeful Dream out of a tattered hat-
If the Moths love it why should we not?

Morals kill the Useless, Hope kills the Dreams
Life kills the Killers all that is left are the Shotgun Hopefuls

I want Candy Land and I want a catch phrase
I want a name and a number and a reason.
Thick leather boots stomp butterflies while innocent kids ruin flies with a magnifying glass.
Innocence is Ignorance
Innocence is Death
