Child To Sleep (rewritten) Lyrics - Singles - I.o.s.

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.
