For You

There is no creator
Creation lies in ourselves
I have created
Pure ultimate beauty
I am stunned
At the gift of life
But as the sun goes down
Realisation creeps in
Happiness fades away
I slowly lose my grip
And now I realise
I will do you wrong
I will scar you
As you build a life

I can't protect you
From this beast called life

I'll see you hurt
By our own kind

They'll corrupt you
You must obey

Slowly I'll see
You'll lose innocence

There are limits
To what i can teach

There are limits
To your protection

I am overrun
By this fear

I can't give
What you need

Still for you
I will bleed

Still for you
I will live

Still for you
I will fight

Still for you
I will cry

Knowning all the struggles
That'll confront you

I know I did not do
What I had to do

Knowing I failed
What we call life

This fear is haunting
Tormenting me

I really hope
That you won't be

You won't be
Exactly like me

I am overrun
By this fear

I can't give
What you need

Still for you
I will bleed

Still for you
I will live

Still for you
I will fight

Still for you
I will cry
