Sweet Innocence
Life Long Tragedy Lyrics

I walk through the darkest rooms
I'm wandering through the most depressing places imaginable

Full of gloom and minds like mazes
The people here are trapped in their negative thoughts and emotions

And rejoice 'cause I'll be the voice
I'm happy because I get to speak for a generation that's failed

Of your failure fucking generation
I'm speaking to a whole generation of people who have not succeeded in achieving their dreams.

Still don't belong to anyone
I'm still a loner, and I don't feel like I fit in anywhere

This is a life of hesitation
I'm living a life of indecisiveness

And we'd all trade one night to remember
We would all gladly trade a single memorable evening for all the years spent without purpose

For the years we've carelessly wasted
We realize that we've wasted so many years by not pursuing our dreams with determination

Big dreams and half full drinks
We have aspirations that are bigger than our current lives

A few pills in your guts
We sometimes take drugs to help us forget our problems and relax

So now it's easy to think or breathe
Drugs make it easier to think and breathe, but it's not a long-term solution

And true love was just a marketed ploy
True love was never supposed to be a product sold to make money

So guys can hit their lines
Guys use pickup lines to try to get women's attention

And girls can grab their boys
Girls often try to pursue guys they're interested in

Sweet innocence with loser's luck
We often try to be innocent, yet we still fall prey to bad luck and negative circumstances

I know you think you're giving love
You believe that you're giving love to someone else selflessly

But you're just getting fucked
But in reality, you're not getting anything back, and you're being taken advantage of

Guess what?
Do you know what?

I looked and you know what I found?
I searched for the answer and discovered this

That you can't expect to trust this world
It's difficult to trust the world we live in because it's full of betrayal and disappointment

When you can't even trust yourself
It's hard to trust yourself when you don't know what you want or what you're doing in life

And your head starts to spin
Your thoughts become overwhelming and confusing

As you dance to the beat
You try to forget your problems by dancing and enjoying yourself

Because tomorrow isn't promised
We can't be sure what tomorrow will bring

But it's sure as fuck is coming
But it's certain that tomorrow will come, no matter what it brings

And your body starts to shake
Your physical and emotional states become unstable

As you sing in the streets
You raise your voice and sing out loud, hoping to be heard

Because it's cold outside
The world is harsh and unforgiving

So you better start running
It's time to start taking action and making changes

Don't count on me to save your life
You can't rely on me to fix all your problems

When I've never had
I've never experienced

A clear enough perspective on mine
I've never had a clear understanding of my own life and what I want from it

And I know things change
I understand that things are always changing and evolving

We'll go our separate ways
We will eventually part ways and move on with our own lives

And alive is the only thing
Sometimes staying alive is the only thing that matters

It seems we've stayed lately
We've been in this state of mind for too long

And the truth isn't always easy to believe
Sometimes it's hard to accept the truth about ourselves and our situation

You walk alone to the sound of your own heartbeat
You are walking alone, guided only by your instincts and intuition

And I know it's not always so easy to see
It's difficult to recognize what's truly important in life

But we are still all so fucking beautiful to me
We are all unique and valuable in our own way, despite our flaws and shortcomings
