Verse 1

walking proud, all silent and sound: while children walk streets we corrupt

hungry child, for another hour; another day I'll pass you by

life lays me down in a bed of lies and fears

it's your future, not theirs

love's become an emotion we can turn off

life's riches control our souls

day to day to day rolls by, fingers to the bone

it's their future, not ours

Chorus

Brush your hair back, as you always do... Liner noteYet another pass at the Ending of Innocence chorus. The Ending of Innocence and Ending of Innocence II are in here too.

I'm watching you

don't go in for work today,

let stay inside tonight

empty house and bottles of wine,

the fires bright and you

this is the ending of innocence

Verse 2

we are all confined inside, our eyes filled with tears

with arms wide open, waiting for days to end

life lays me down in a bed of lies and fears

it's my future, no one else

Chorus

Brush your hair back, as you always do...

I'm watching you

pull back the armor of your heart,

and let me in

nothing matters in here,

it's just me and you

this is the ending of innocence

Outro

one more drink 'fore I leave, one more while I'm here

let the whole world burn down, I don't care

let all the days just fade as if they were never there

affection in public places, let them stare

so many people want to never be alone
