Destroy The Boy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You lost that inner city fight
In a world that act like it don't know you
Act like it don't know you
Look for angels in the street
Thinking that you just might find an answer
But there are no answers
It's hard to care in a world that just don't give a damn
Destroy, destroy the boy
Know this world is killing you
So why are they accusing you?
Destroy the girl that makes noise
Know this world's abusing you
Know this world can't silence you
You cry yourself to sleep at night
Hoping that your dreams will make it better
Dreams will make it better
Dreams will push you from the edge
Now you find you're simply falling faster
Simply falling faster
No one's ever, ever there to break your fall
Destroy, destroy the boy
Know this world is killing you
So why are they accusing you?
Destroy the girl that makes noise
Know this world's abusing you
Know this world can't silence you
Hear you screaming
Locked inside a world that's lost its way
Reach out, find me
I'll wait here with fire in my eyes
Fire in my eyes
Destroy, destroy the boy
Know this world is killing you
So why are they accusing you?
Destroy the girl that makes noise
Know this world's abusing you
Know this world can't silence you
Destroy, destroy, destroy
Know this world is killing you
So why are they accusing you?
Destroy, destroy, let's make noise
Know this world's abusing you
Know this world can't silence you
