I was crying deep inside

You stayed beside me and you tried

To be my friend

But I'd sworn on no one I'll depend

That was so absurd I couldn't bend

But I kept my word right to the end

I tried silence - they made me speak

Though I could still smile with

Tongue in cheek - just like you

But they broke us down to take their test

It was useless trying to protest

So you and I joined all the rest

But when ripples of sunlight burn your flesh

When we're older then we - maybe will unleash

Our minds upon them while they swim

Drowning children just as dim as us - uh huh, uh huh

With powers like ours - uh huh, uh huh

Was trying to sink - I looked up at you

They were drowning you on the

Surface in my view - you had problems too

Silhouetted against gold

I had hoped you'd be more bold

I have never, ever felt so cold

But when ripples of sunlight burn your flesh

When we're older then we - maybe will unleash

Our minds upon them while they swim

Drowning children just as dim as us - uh huh, uh huh

With powers like ours - uh huh, uh huh

But when ripples of sunlight burn your flesh

When we're older then we

Maybe will unleash our minds

Upon them while they swim

Drowning children just as dim

For we fought hard but something died

A thousand paths were cast aside

And maybe you miss them too

Then those paths were lost with you

But remember all we tried to do

Remember how we tried
