The Blinding Light - August Burns Red

The fear is what shelters them

It’s what shades their eyes and muffles their ears

The fear is what shelters them

It’s what shades their eyes and muffles their ears

Keep them inside

Lock them up in a closet known as home

In here no one can find them

In here no one can fill them with filth

In here no one can find them

In here no one can fill them with filth

They were born with the silverware clenched in their teeth

They were born with the silverware clenched in their teeth

They were born with the silverware clenched in their teeth

They were born with the silverware clenched in their teeth

And so help us, they will die with it too

And so help us, they will die with it too

And so help us, they will die with it too

None of them will make anything of themselves

They don’t need their own lives

The ones we have planned will work just fine

They don’t need their own lives

The ones we have planned will work just fine

Oh

The world is a terrifying place

Without us they will never make it

They will never reach their potential

They will never ever surpass us

Without our watchful eye, they might just leave us behind

Without our watchful eye, they might just leave us behind
