The Unguided - Childhood's End

While I can't hold your hand son, I will have your back.

If a mountain stood in the way of my father
The mountain would move aside
A feat that wasn't passed down to me

A boy with a crown
An ill-fitting one
People post-breakdown
How their souls have been tested
In these times everyone
Is both judge and jury
And you still live in cages
Just with longer chains

New world disorder, that's how we exist
New world disorder, we can't resist

Dredge my heart of all the fear that I have inside
Minds, they forget
But the scars remember everything
No matter how much I've tried
You will reject
My attempts to be your rightful king
Your king

And I seem to make enemies
Faster than I make friends
I can't really find the remedy
Do we get the life that we deserve?

New world disorder, that's how we exist
New world disorder, we can't resist

Dredge my heart of all the fear that I have inside
Minds, they forget
But the scars remember everything
No matter how much I've tried
You will reject
My attempts to be your king

Childhood's end
A sudden end

I tried to burn away my fear and anger
And how I prayed it would hurt no longer
Imagine a king who fights his own battles

I prefer my demons stirred not shaken
You can drown your pain but it will learn to swim
Some people treat life like a disease
And I am one of them, I am one of them

All the fear that I have inside

Dredge my heart of all the fear that I have inside
Minds, they forget
But the scars remember everything
No matter how much I've tried
You will reject
My attempts to be your rightful king
Your king
