A random thought, this is it
Unstoppable stream of consciousness
Strain of madness impossible to beat
Don't want to think about this mess
That's my life! But they're taking
Away! All that's good and sweet
Fulfilling what was supposed to be
Innocent I am no more because of it
They're taking, they're taking!
They're taking it away!
My sleep, my safety!
What am I today?!
They won't, they won't
They won't leave me tonight
I don't want to see this
This isn't right
All that was scary and all that was sad
All that trauma, everything that was
Embarassing, humiliating, all things cringe and bad
All the violence and things which were gross...
If they define me what can I find
About myself? I'm not sure
It's chimaeric to win against one's mind
To resist I am too impure
They're taking, they're taking!
They're taking it away!
My sleep, my safety!
What am I today?!
They won't, they won't
They won't leave me tonight
I don't want to see this
This isn't right
They're taking, they're taking!
They're taking it away!
My sleep, my safety!
What am I today?!
They won't, they won't
They won't leave me tonight
I don't want to see this
This isn't right
Don't take, don't take, don't take it away
Don't take, don't take, don't take it away
Don't take, don't take, don't take it away
Don't take, don't take, don't take it away
Don't take away
Don't take away
Don't take away
Don't take, don't take, don't take it away
