Lyrics:
You showed me love
But taught me fear
A God above
That you could not fully hear
Through screams of hate
And graveside tears
And dropping bombs
I guess the message was not clear
It must have been hard
For you to feel...
Love is something I once knew
But as my body grew
Love did not grow too
A boot stomped my fertile soil
No matter how they toiled
The seeds would not take root
Late nights spent
Hearing you play
Piano keys
Well that was one such way
That I could feel
What was in your heart
That you push down
So till this day I play
Cause that is my way
That I can feel...
Love is something I once knew
But as my body grew
Love did not grow too
A boot stomped my fertile soil
No matter how they toiled
The seeds would not take root
I'm not some psychopathic fool
I'm not the Devil's mindless tool
This ain't the way
You'll never feel any better
You've grown a shell
That can withstand any weather
You block out the rain
And with it all the pain
But ain't it a shame
That when you block the rain
You block the Sun
Just the same?
Love is something I once knew
But as my body grew
Love did not grow too
A boot stomped my fertile soil
No matter how I toil
The seeds will not take root
