Karaoké Silhouettes Smile Empty Soul

Silhouettes above the cradle hold me down

They won't let me go the wrong way

My mother taught me all the fables told me how

In the end all the sinners have to pay

But I don't wanna live like my mother

I don't wanna let fear rule my life

And I don't wanna live like my father

I don't wanna give up before I die

He worked so hard his bones are breaking he wore them down

But long ago he lost the feeling

His good intentions leave me shaking show me how

I don't ever want to end up like he did

And I don't wanna live like my mother

I don't wanna let fear rule my life

And I don't wanna live like my father

I don't wanna give up before I die

When I have kids

I won't put any chains on their wrists I won't

I'll tell them this there's nothing in this

World that you can't be if you want it enough

Well I don't wanna live like my mother

I don't wanna let fear rule my life

And I don't wanna live like my father

I don't wanna give up before I die

Well I don't wanna live like my mother

I don't wanna let fear rule my life

Well I don't wanna live like my father

I don't wanna give up before I die
