Childhood’s End

Lyrics

[Intro: Spoken] "While I can't hold your hand, Son I will have your back" [Intro] If a mountain stood in the way of my father The mountain would move aside A feat that wasn't passed down to me... [Verse 1] A boy with a crown An ill-fitting one People post-breakdown How their souls have been tested In these times, everyone Is both judge and jury And you still live in cages Just with longer chains [Pre-Chorus] New world disorder That's how we exist New world disorder We can't resist (Resist, resist) [Chorus] Dredge my heart Of all the fear that I have inside Minds, they forget But the scars remember Everything No matter how much I've tried You will reject My attempts to be your rightful king [Post-Chorus] Your king [Verse 2] And I seem to make enemies Faster than I make friends I can't really find the remedy Do we get the life that we deserve? [Pre-Chorus] New world disorder That's how we exist New world disorder We can't resist [Chorus] Dredge my heart Of all the fear that I have inside Minds, they forget But the scars remember Everything No matter how much I've tried You will reject My attempts to be your king [Bridge 1] Childhood's end A sudden end [Bridge 2] I tried to burn away My fear and anger And how I prayed It would hurt no longer Imagine a king Who fights his own battles [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] I prefer my demons stirred, not shaken You can drown your pain But it will learn to swim Some people treat life like (it's) a disease And I am one of them I am one of them [Refrain] All the fear that I have inside... [Chorus] Dredge my heart Of all the fear that I have inside Minds, they forget But the scars remember Everything No matter how much I've tried You will reject My attempts to be your rightful king [Outro] Your king
