Criminal

Ben Jelen

Leaving waves of lies behind

No time to contemplate

Sailing ships of solitude

I never let the sadness dissipate

Leave behind an angry anchor

It's never too late



I guess it's in a time like this

The winds would blow the other way

Sailing through a sea of doubt

I have the time to contemplate

A world so harsh to face and lies so commonplace

We're insecure 'cause we want more

What about the time before?

Was it ignorance?

We said never again



I'm a criminal

I turn away when I know what's going on

My children will ask me, “How did you ignore”

If you really don't see

Then open up your eyes

'Cause its glaring out in front of me

I'll go by myself



I guess it's in the times like these

When the winds are fake

When I wish we'd sail together

Take these empty seas away

In a world so harsh to face and lies so commonplace

We're insecure 'cause we want more

What about the time before?

Was it ignorance? We said never again

Was it ignorance or innocence?

Aren't they really the same?
