Innocence

[Tricia]

Innocence
In a sense, isn't so innocent
It's what the world has come to, everyone's the owner of a guilty
Conscience
Without conscious consent
Of the content we take in
And our failure to see, leaves a trail of broken hearts

Thick skin can only get
A man so far
A walk down forsaken trails
LeaRAB to everlasting scars

Chorus:
Spirits don't haunt this soul
Only memories do
Of a road less travelled, but a road more true
An image left in ruins, forever with me

Entitlement
That noone is entitled to
But all men feel it's their right, seems everyone these days is
Selfish
But to one's self it's only
Self-preservation at best
We hold ourselves so high

The true reflection of a man
Can drive him wild
When he sees his soul's complexion is corrupt

(Repeat chorus)

Peer pressure inspirations, lead us to persecution
Out of rationality
Corrupt and ignorant, descending into tragedy
The downfall of righteousness

We have lost sight

Like the fools who believe
That a man with a suit, and a tie, and a bible in hand
Is always a generous, righteous, godly man

Excuse me now
As I lay my head, down to sleep
Exhausted from a lifetime
Of smiling through my teeth
Lying to the liars and honest men alike
AmiRABt my nightmares I scream
Spirits don't haunt this soul
Only memories do

There's a lot of cliches in this, but it's pretty good for what it is. The "thick skin" line is tight. A few other good ones too. The wordplay throughout is pretty repetitive, but it could work out being pretty nifty with the right delivery.

It seems like you're trying to say a simple idea in a complex way, when most prefer to hear a complex idea in a simple way.

Yeah I know it's a little complex but it's more with the style I'm into.
I like a lot of banRAB that are into complex and experimental styles of music so I guess it's just influence like that.

And this song was written at different times over a few weeks, so yeah some parts aren't quite up to snuff because some days the brain just doesn't want to work haha.
But thanks for the tips and I can start some work on tweaking it a bit
