If it was up to humanity we'd be the same person we were born as
Young innocent creatures that only know love
But the world around us
the world that bleeds itself into our minds
Causes an aneurysm of change
Our bodies grow and we want different things
Our minds change and we think different things
Our hearts change and we feel new
We toss away who we were as children and claim to be men
Tell ourselves we changed because we want to
We've grown up
But in reality, that aneurysm killed us
