Verse 1:
Children raised in Hell,
since their birth
Neglected, no escape
Prisoners of Earth
Pre:
They protect themselves with flames
& push their hands into the water
Putting up with all the pain
Where has the sun gone?
Chorus:
Can you stop what your stepparents have done?
They think abusive lives are all in fun
Can you take this nightmare & throw it away?
Can you runaway & save yourself today?
Children treated like a handful of dirt
Nurtures the ground, but poisons the earth
Just when it all seems quiet & all pain free
It's when they put a child, another child to sleep
Verse 2:
Listen kiddo,
Can you see the light?
These tears injected,
Make 'em lose the fight
Pre:
So you set the fire high
You listen to 'em screaming
You burn yourself alive
Freedom's as close as dreaming
Chorus
Verse 3:
Blood & pain
Tears & hurt
Lying on top of chrome
Sleet or rain
Mud or dirt
Left without a home
Left here all alone
Pre:
So they think we're all just liars
Makin' stories just to tell
But the cuts & broken bones
It is proof we live in Hell
Chorus:
Can you stop what your stepparents have done?
They think abusive lives are all in fun
Can you take this nightmare & throw it away?
Can you runaway & save yourself today?
Can you prove that we're tortured souls?
In balls & chains, trapped inside a hole
Just when it all seems quiet & all pain free
It's when they put a child, another child to sleep
