Silent Legacy

<br>Why did you steal the matches<br>From the one room motel<br>Once they gave you answers<br>Now they give you hell<br>They will never understand<br>They wonder where did they go wrong<br>How could you be so selfish<br>Why can`t you get along<br><br>And as you pray in your darkness<br>For wings to set you free<br>You are bound to your silent legacy<br><br>You`ve seen it in the movies<br>And you`ve heard it on the street<br>Craving the affection<br>Your blood is full of heat<br>They don`t listen to your reasons<br>As original as sin<br>Deny all that you feel<br>And they will bring you home again<br><br>And as you pray in your darkness<br>For wings to set you free<br>You are bound to your silent legacy<br><br>Your body is alive<br>But no one told you what you`d feel<br>The empty aching hours<br>Trying to conceal<br>The natural progression<br>Is the coming of your age<br>But they cover it with shame<br>And turn it into rage<br><br>And as you pray in your darkness<br>For wings to set you free<br>You are bound to your silent legacy<br><br>You are digging for the answers<br>Until your fingers bleed<br>To satisfy the hunger<br>To satiate the need<br>They feed you on the guilt<br>To keep you humble keep you low<br>Some man and myth they made up<br>A thousand years ago<br><br>And as you pray in your darkness<br>For wings to set you free<br>You are bound to your silent legacy<br><br>Mothers tell your children<br>Be quick you must be strong<br>Life is full of wonder<br>Love is never wrong<br>Remember how they taught you<br>How much of it was fear<br>Refuse to hand it down<br>The legacy stops here<br><br>Oh my child...
