When The Kids Are Gone

Run through the hallway to escape who I am

If only I knew how or where to begin, I would drop to my knees

Now you see how I plea

Hand to my heart, on the edge of the bed

Shaken and tormented by what's in my head

My tears flood every seed

Go on, take what you need

Now I'm lost inside a moment

The hush before the omen decides

And I'm clutching to a feeling

The rush before the healing resigns

When the kids are gone

When the kids are gone

Then when I asked if I will meet your demands

Steeples in darkness, holding faith by the hand

I don't know what it means

When you say just believe

I can't hide in the shadows of you

Asleep in the pines, the edge of our youth

I will drop to my knees

On belief killing street

Now I'm lost inside a moment

The hush before the omen decides

And I'm clutching to a feeling

The rush before the healing resigns

When the kids are gone

When the kids are gone

When the kids are gone

When the kids are gone

When the kids are gone

When the kids are gone

And you keep holding on

And you keep holding on

When the kids are gone

When the kids are gone

When the kids are gone

When the kids are gone

When the kids are gone

When the kids are gone
