Innocent Forces

by Andy Vo   Jan 10, 2006


Covered ears from gentle children seem to beckon
The hellish voices seem to scream into my face
But can I see you standing there so silently?
In the dark, I stand
In the dark, I let out
In the dark, I fall

But how can you see me above anybody else?
How could they possibly forget you?
Two exiles stuck together in a silent cave
Whose walls trap beside until we stand abreast
Until we stand waiting
Until we are forced to stand together

Droning out, young haunting pathway
Even in the lightest moment
Can I be awoken
From this dead I seem to live in?
From this dead I seem to bathe in?
From this dead I seem to drown in?

Whisper nothing, comforting inside
Luscious cloth seems to suffocate
My happy fantasy will turn to the darkest depth
Of hell, I fell into the flaming wound
Of hell, I fell into the darkest wound
Of hell, I fell into the darkest womb again

Fly back into eternity
With parachutes, in case I fall down again
But take this pill and carry on
I am nothing, for a cause
I am nothing, just a cause
I am nothing, just because
