Song: Desolate

C. Moss
Verse
Lately, she's made her father upset
And his reason was vague
But, enough to call nonsense
And to the unknown, he's the perfect example
A hard working man with no feeling of shame
A beautiful lie with no source of comfort
A timely goodbye to all things innocent
She enters the schoolyard; a place she'd rather be
And she stopped and she stared at, cursing
The faces around her, all dying to be free
Her thoughts consume her; sacred and profane
A blinding desire to belittle her worth
Her smile is hiding the pain
And she said

Pre Chorus
This is the biggest mistake of my life
And no one seems to care at all
They're unaware of the events of that night
As she falls harder to the ground
A familiar sound that no one should hear
She needs to start all over again

Chorus
The guilt free ones never get free
Let's close the door on the past
It came out of nowhere
It came from something gone wrong
She quietly walks home
With her head in the clouds
Hoping for someone to answer
Her silent requests of another year older
So she can move on with her life
She has to move on and on and on
She has to move on and on and on
She has to move on

Verse
A baby face hardened by the one she called home
A difficult answer left out in the rain
Her mind's just as cold, here dark thoughts are roaming
She's got everything to lose and nothing to gain
Her thoughts keep drowning out the pain
She'll carry this burden
She'll carry the weight home
I won't throw my life away
She said in a whisper
Life gets so heavy and misunderstood
Conceal your fear behind a facade of courage
I may feel so alone but my outlook is good
Thinking it over, my outlook is good
And she said

Pre Chorus
What would you think of me?
Will anyone ever care at all?
Unaware of the events of that night
She's falling faster to the ground
A familiar sound that no one should hear
She needs to start all over again

Chorus
The guilt free ones never get free
Let's close the door on the past
It came out of nowhere
It came out of nowhere
She quietly walked home
With her head in the clouds
An answer was there all along
Her silent request of another year older, gives proof
That she can move on with her life
She has to move on and on and on
She has to move on and on and on
She has to move on

Verse (Outro)
And she said
I've seen better days and there's more
Waiting out there for me, carefully listening
I'm not staying here forever entwined
In the darkest hell of them all
Find your own way deep inside, safely hidden
From another time; would you still listen?
And what would you think of me now?
