System Syn Hide And Seek
Outside, all the screams of joy
The neighborhood alive
Hide and seek on cool summer nights
While she's staring at her walls
If only she could be someone
Someone they would love
Oh child, don't you let it end this way
I know that nothing's fair at all
And right now this feels important
But there will be a brighter day
Away from the tragedies of youth
Years will pass and this won't matter
With the cruelty of children
Open ended excuses for behavior tolerated
She dreams of a bigger world
Where she can slip into the cracks
And be lost forever
Because nothing can be worse than this
Don't you let it end this way
I know that nothing's fair at all
And right now this feels important
But there will be a brighter day
Away from the tragedies of youth
Years will pass and this won't matter
Outside, the screams of joy
But inside is where the rain falls
Hide and seek on summer nights
While she's staring at her walls
Don't you let it end this way
I know that nothing's fair at all
And right now this feels important
But there will be a brighter day
Away from the tragedies of youth
Years will pass and you'll survive this
You will survive this
