Analysis of innocence
The innocence of the souls you stole are forever lost.
Did you even think or care about the cost?
All those who have lost their dreams.
As the tears flow down their countless faces in never ending streams.
Although they like to try and pretend.
They can't help but wonder when their suffering will end.
Behind closed doors they contemplate taking their lives away.
Because they don't want to face the pain from day to day.
Can there be another way?
Something else to make them stay.
Some way to make their past dreams come true.
Before you made them experience what they went through.
