I.O.S. - "Child To Sleep (Rewritten)" lyrics
*** Complimentary Child To Sleep (Rewritten) Ringtone ***
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:
Children raised in Hell,

Neglected, no escape.

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.
You listen to 'em screaming.
You burn yourself alive.
Freedom's as close as dreaming.
