Dear parents
You kid is crying out
Don't you hear?

Do you not hear those cries in the middle of the night?
Do you not see that pain?
Marked so clearly on their faces
Their actions
Their skin
Did they not make it clear?

You stand there disappointed about
Everything that your child has done
You thought you did your best didn't you?

Ever thought maybe we have feelings too? Dreams? Ambitions?
Maybe you should learn to listen

To hear our cries
Because we just want you to be happy
We just want you to beproud
We just want you to understand

Understand
Understand

As the softer rose
Shades of twilight fades
With a heartfelt gravity
Darkness, descends

Oblivious to the north winds
Stinging bite
Neath this star
Speckled sky
His devotion extends

To that quintessential
Component of time
That stills
Surrounding

Dear parents
Your kid is crying out
Don't you hear?

Dear parents
Your kid is crying out
Don't you hear?

Maybe you should learn to listen
Maybe you should learn to listen
Thought you want to- wanna make your old man proud
You know- take over the nightosphere?
Yeah I wanted you to be proud
I wanted to be proud of me
Baby
Of course I am proud of you
