Take a walk to the mall
Watch the girls strut down the hall.
Flashing lights, bare skin everywhere.
That it makes just stop and stare.
Then they tell you they're just thirteen.
Hey, I'm a teen!
Yeah my friend, she's got a child,
She's been on her own all this while.
No, she's just sixteen,
Trying to fit in between.
-
We're falling apart....
One day we'll wake up
To find we're falling hard.
We've fallen apart.
-
We mourn for the victims dead
Of a school painted red-
All the while we kill the unborn
And justify it through our ‘law'.
Where's the inflation, nothing's changed.
But just ten years have passed, and nothing's the same.
We're too busy saving the world, not saving ourselves.
Reaching out to others while we're falling to hell.
You can tell me it's all fine and nothing's wrong
But do I lock my door when I'm all alone?
-
Cause we're falling apart....
All the shattered dreams and broken hearts.
One day we'll wake up
To face our darkest night
And it's then we'll find -
We've fallen apart.
