smile empty soul - silhouettes

Silhouettes above the cradle hold me down
They won't let me go the wrong way
My mother taught me all the fables, told me how
In the end all the sinners have to pay
But...

I don't wanna live like my mother
I don't wanna let fear rule my life
And I don't wanna live like my father
I don't wanna give up before I die

He worked so hard his bones are breaking
He wore them down but long ago he lost the feeling
His good intentions leave me shaking, show me how
I don't ever want to end up like he did
And...

I don't wanna live like my mother
I don't wanna let fear rule my life
And I don't wanna live like my father
I don't wanna give up before I die

When i have kids
I won't put any chains on their wrists, I won't
I'll tell them this
There's nothing in this world that you can't be if you want it enough

I don't wanna live like my mother
I don't wanna let fear rule my life
And I don't wanna live like my father
I don't wanna give up before I die

I don't wanna live like my mother
I don't wanna let fear rule my life
I don't wanna live like my father
I don't wanna give up before I die

Music is my drug,

Youtube is my dealer.

Vevo are the cops.

God, The nights i spent, focusing my angst in to artwork/writing, bitter at my parents and the world, with this song playing in the background.

Years later, it doesn't hold the same attraction. This man is no longer singing the gospel...

But nostalgia brings me back, time and again. Too many bittersweet memories tied to this band to set them aside indefinitely.

When this song came out I was a teenager and I loved it... now im pregnant and I really know what it means

[bigman300ful]

@jamieblahblah1 *sighs* Americas getting dumber by the minute... You're not alone here. Who gives a damn when someone says ass ass ass ass a billion times? Unfortunately my whole school.

@ImmaRandommer Vevo is your backup. Vevo is a dream coming to life. Gosh, think about it for a minute and stop hating. What everyone wants on youtube- To have EVERY song on their channel. So Vevo is your backup- and you are the unknowing one who copies other peoples comments to try and gain popularity. ~AH out.

This song is my life story, lmfao..

[MisterTownsend]

@MrJokintoker Just sounds like you grew out of it. Good song though. Very Nostalgic.

[RobertSwaneck]

not cuz this song doesnt says over and over again "god i love you" it means its not gospel, he is just exposing the way that society presents god and stupid religion, (by the way, religion separates people instead of getting em' together) of course, society says "You gotta believe or you'll suffer for the rest of eternity" no one wants that, god is a god of love, he is not a threat or tyranny made god, you have the choice believe or not, but dont choose for FEAR, choose FREELY, im christian btw

[Slave2Death13]

I've truly never wanted to live like my parents...

Expectations weigh out the real meaning of life and we need to let children think for themselves. This song is very touching IMO.

[TheReady500]

This is my true story too:) Mimics my own life.

[jamieblahblah1]
