Don’t blame it on the kids

[Verse 1] In the quiet of the night, whispers creep, shadows bite, Little feet on creaky floors, secrets locked behind closed doors. Eyes that watch with silent dread, nightmares dancing in their head, Innocence wrapped in chains, bearing all the unjust pains. [Pre-Chorus] Behind the walls, behind the lies, Truth is hidden in their cries, In their hearts, the silent screams, Lost in dark, forgotten dreams. [Chorus] [Guitar] Don't blame it on the …kids ! (Kids) The innocent and small, They're just reflections in a house of haunted halls. In the night, their whispers call, Don't blame it on the kids, no, not at all. [Verse 2] Echoes of a twisted past, shadows long and shadows cast, Little hands reach out in vain, searching for an end to pain. In the gloom where secrets lie, beneath the cold, unfeeling sky, Monsters born of human sin, trapping light that's deep within. [Pre-Chorus] Behind the walls, behind the lies, Truth is hidden in their cries, In their hearts, the silent screams, Lost in dark, forgotten dreams. [Chorus] [Guitar] Don't blame it on the …kids ! (Kids) The innocent and small, They're just reflections in a house of haunted halls. In the night, their whispers call, Don't blame it on the kids, no, not at all. [Piano solo] [Bridge] In the silence, in the pain, In the dark, where shadows reign, Every scar and every tear, Speaks of truths we fail to hear. [Pre-Chorus] Behind the walls, behind the lies, Truth is hidden in their cries, In their hearts, the silent screams, Lost in dark, forgotten dreams. [Chorus] [Guitar] Don't blame it on the [short silence] kids ! (Kids) The innocent and small, They're just reflections in a house of haunted halls. In the night, their whispers call, Don't blame it on the kids, no, not at all. [Outro] In the dark, where shadows weave, In their eyes, the truths we leave, Don't blame it on the kids, we see, The broken dreams of what could be.
