No Shelter - Cause // Æffect

All those things that were meant to happen
That were meant to be
Those things that never happened
Still has effect on me
All those days waiting for change
And their fond memories
Everything I could never know
Still has effect on me

They took it away
We left it behind
They fucking took it from us
And we just left it all behind

Every day I'd hear empty promises
Only backed with fulfilled threats
Reaching out for a false light
Something to fill a life meaningless

A wasted existed
Withered all away
Deflect, decay
Values led astray
A guilty scapegoat
Someone to take the blame
Liable, coverup
Someone to paint a picture
I can't say I know who's to blame
Maybe there's not a soul at fault
I wouldn't be the one who points the finger
Or maybe I already have
But someone's gotta take a hit
Someone has to soak it up
We all need someone to shame
Someone else to take the blame
Cause all that they've done to us
Has left us empty
A shell of what we could have been
Waisted potential and dim

And it's brushed off like nothing happened
We move on while the effect of isolation remains
There's nothing to be done but accept
The decline of a generation in chains

Ambition
Attention
Allusion
Aspiration

I want my time back
I want my days back
Give me my life back
I want my years back
