Shattered Serenity

Remember the days of grace Before we were torn apart The fruit of the bitter truth Exchanged for a youthful heart It's a bite we took to see beyond the looking glass Temptation's apple made us so aware and so outcast And now we all regret the questions that we've asked There are some things that can't be reclaimed Losses so great they can never be forgotten Yet, like all people, we wake up every morning And force ourselves to look into the mirror And to accept the person that we've become Take me home, leave me be Don't dare to shatter the pieces left Of my serenity There are things I cannot Ever reclaim in my heart Please let me be and don't tear more apart No… Can a single soul leave any mark upon this world? Why is all that's sacred never valued more than gold? Do you remember the day that your innocence was taken And you saw the world for all it really is? A collection of stories Many without happy endings Woven through and through with human frailty A kiss from death is love's parody It's all that can set these hearts free We're dying slowly every single day Yet deep inside the child remains Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Calling me, begging me To come home After so long And so far away Welcome home It's not like you remember it
