Hide and Seek - System Syn

Outside, all the screams of joy

The neighborhood alive

Hide and seek on cool summer nights

While she’s staring at her walls

If only she could be someone

Someone they would love

Oh child, don’t you let it end this way

I know that nothing’s fair at all

And right now this feels important

But there will be a brighter day

Away from the tragedies of youth

Years will pass and this won’t matter

With the cruelty of children

Open ended excuses for behavior tolerated

She dreams of a bigger world

Where she can slip into the cracks

And be lost forever

Because nothing can be worse than this

Don’t you let it end this way

I know that nothing’s fair at all

And right now this feels important

But there will be a brighter day

Away from the tragedies of youth

Years will pass and this won’t matter

Outside, the screams of joy

But inside is where the rain falls

Hide and seek on summer nights

While she’s staring at her walls

Don’t you let it end this way

I know that nothing’s fair at all

And right now this feels important

But there will be a brighter day

Away from the tragedies of youth

Years will pass and you’ll survive this

You will survive this
