Kids Songtext
von Jacob Brodovsky

Once the crooked clowns have hedged their bets
And pain enshrouds the lives we tell ourselves between regrets

Once the night has come
Once we hide away
Once we live too long
Cause we tried to stay

Can you settle down beneath the weight we left behind?

When all at once, we breath defeat
All our naked greed′s belief returns us incomplete
Once the flowers wilt
And the lakes run dry
Once it's hard to breathe beneath the blanket of smokey sky

Will you tell the truth to youth or cling to alibis
Will you tell the kids we tried


Everyone′s in crisis
Everyone's in love
Everyone's been diagnosed with all of the above
If I was an optimist I would′ve lied
Instead I tell the kids we tried

Once we′re buried deep
Once the haze abates
Once intention and resolve collide to pacify our fate
Once we've given up
Once we′ve said our piece
Once we've realized where we went wrong and days descend to weeks

Will you repent for all the harm you′ve justified?
Settle down beneath the weight we left behind?
Will you tell the truth to youth or cling to alibis?
Will you tell the kids we tried?
Will you tell the kids we tried?
