never will they take me alive what do you want from me come into my place of solace disrupting all i have ever known you lie just to get to me stolen moments from my childhood picked clean my adolescent bones youre just a thief what is the meaning of this life when my southern wings were never meant for flight which side do you want to see from me the progenitor of pure evil which side do you want me to set free nothing is gained without much pain so low swings the pendulum sawing through my seasoned bones ripping the furrows in my skin the sand from my life is crashing down it drowns my purity descendants now outnumber friends long live the lie what is the meaning of this life when my southern wings were never meant for flight rohrbough what is the meaning of this life when my southern wings were never meant for flight innocence left behind when the childish things are wiped away by time we have lost our sinlessness right now
