Backlit Medley

From the beginning

I drew pictures

Of the searching sun

Blissfully denying what is instinct

Since the beginning

I've seen color

But lately it's been tainted

With grays and under-glows

A constant fight

With who I am

And who I have to be

Forgive me for the fool that I've become

I take back the stupid things I've done

And how do we keep our innocence

From burning away?

A backlit medley of hello and goodbyes

Our trip-wire catching

There's good in every try

A constant fight

With who I am

And who I have to be

Forgive me for the fool that I've become

I take back the stupid things I've done

How do we keep our innocence

From burning away?

One kiss

No words

Toxic melody

Creeps through my body

Wrapped in your lips

Paint my future

Please forgive me for the fool that I've become

I take back the stupid things I've done

How do we keep our innocence

From burning away?

I'm tired of trying

How long will it take

To break away

From all of my dirty mistakes?

And how do we keep our innocence

From burning away?
