The Army Of Lost Souls

We are your mistakes
The disillusions of the past
Perfection that went wrong
Our high spirits fell so fast

We are the unwanted
The truth behind the smiles
Of a thousand disappointed parents
Living their life in denial

We are the lost
Don't fit it anywhere
Victims of abuse
Painful memories we bare

We are but an army
A thousand voices joined in one
A sea of broken dreams
Living in the shadows, no hint of sun

We are the misfits
The generation the world regrets
Looked down upon
Our feelings you forget

We are the troubled
The kids on the street
Kids who mess up in school
Or with the law get too deep

We are the dead
Who have given up hope
Sacrificed our souls
For in this world we cannot cope

We are a thousand sons & daughters
Who have no one who cares
Parents who we see
But are never really there

We are our own worst enemy
We scream into the night
Struggling to breathe, drowning in tears
Losing this eternal fight

We are your shame
You wish we would disappear
So you could live in your image
Without your obsessive fear

We are your dirty secret
But its time the world knew
We turned out this way
Because we were raised by you
