Severance

I fell asleep a boy, and when I woke I was a man
 Forced to mature by this cold world that surrounds us
 What once was so innocent before is now lost
 Let down by the elders that we use to trust
 We were all meant for so much more than this
 No more turning back, no more giving in
 Although time has locked us in regret
 We won't back down, this can't be over yet
 (repeat)
 I fell asleep a boy and when I woke I was a man
 Forced to mature by this cold world that surrounds us
 What once was so innocent before is now lost
 Let down by the elders we use to trust
 We'll water our pillows with candid memories
 Praying for things to be the way they used to be
 Somehow always blaming ourselves again and again
 Hoping that we will finally see the end
 All the broken promises and fallen dreams
 Courtesy of our creators
 False hope busting out of their seams
 They're becoming such outstanding traitors
 No more turning back, no more giving in
 We were all meant for so much more than this
 (repeat)
 A child so small, locking up everything inside
 Scared and alone, the only thing to do is hide
 Accepting the decisions that were way over our heads
 Hearing the yelling from our tear-covered beds
 Now with a void that's only half-filled
 Cradling the memories that haven't yet been killed
 Although time has us locked in regret
 We won't back down, this can't be over yet
 We have coped with the pain that is inevitable
 Recovered from the deep wound that made us so unstable
 We'll live ready for tomorrow like it was yesterday
 Caught up in the past when we need to focus on today
 (repeat)
 We'll flood our pillows with candid memories
 Praying for things to be the way they used to be
 Somehow always blaming ourselves again and again
 We'll flood our pillows with candid memories
 Praying for things to be the way they use to be
 Hoping that we'll finally see the end
 No more turning back, no more giving in
 We were all meant for something so much more than this
