BEN JELEN - Criminal
Leaving waves of lies behind, no time to contemplate
Sailing ships of solitude, I never let the sadness dissipate
I leave behind an angry anchor
Its never too late
I guess its in a time like this
The winds would blow the other way
Sailing through a sea of doubt, I have the time to contemplate
A world so harsh to face and lies so commonplace
Were insecure cause we want more
What about the time before?
Was it ignorance? We sai
Im a criminal
I turn away when I know whats going on
My children will ask me, How did you ignore
If you really dont see, then open up your eyes
Cause its glaring out in front of me
Ill go by myself
I guess its in the times like these, when the winds are fake
When I wish wed sail together, take these empty seas away
In a world so harsh to face and lies so commonplace
Were insecure cause we want more
What about the time before?
Was it ignorance? We said never again
Was it ignorance or innocence? Arent they really the same?
