The Cycle Lyrics

We grew up and put our trust
In every word they preached to us
Every phrase
and every lie
Burnt our eyes and made us blind
Our personality got shaped
By
accepting mistakes others made
We had our reasons for being green
And excuses
for nearly everything
In what else could we believe
Than the world we had to
see
In what else could we believe
Than the phrases we were
preached
Everything seemed to make sense
There was nothing worth to
question
We learned to bury all sorts of doubts
And replaced them with
acceptance
We were young and we were naïve
We believed what we'd been
told
Our innocence and heartiness
Turned into ignorance and cold
And that's
what scares me!
And that's what scares me!
It scares me to see
How
generations change
How new ones grow up
And inherit their mistakes
How
potential gets wasted
Right from the start
How they steal our sanity
And
poison our hearts
It scares me to see
How all those years passed by
How I
grew up
In the blink of an eye
I a**umed a role
I never wanted to have
Now
it's up to me to take
Matters into my hands
I know I can't break this
cycle
But I will act my part
To be a good example
And I will leave my
mark
I will leave my mark...
