This is a very rough version (I just wrote the song as I recorded it), but it’s really eerie and it really reminds me of The Darkest Minds sooo…I hope you guys like it! I may rerecord it later if it gets a decent response…
lyrics
The darkest minds
never fade
from the lives we touch
and put to shame
but i know you
and i know it’s true
you see my face
but you turn away
where do we go
where do we turn
all that’s left
are the things we’ve burned
i see his face
he slipped away
now he’s gone
but the war is on
we all pull through
we all have to
i see my face
i can’t be saved
the colors blend
and soon we’ll end
the world will burn
they never learn
where do we go
where do we turn
all that’s left
are the things we’ve burned
i see his face
he slipped away
now he’s gone
but the war is on
we should’ve made him die on the goddamn floor
at least we got the things that he was searching for
all the other children, all the other kids
rotting underground while he breathes us in
now we have the answer, now we have the cure
it doesn’t make it perfect but we tied the score
all of us are victims, all of us are cursed
but leave it to the kids to believe the worst
where do we go
where do we turn
all that’s left
are the things we’ve burned
i see his face
he slipped away
now he’s gone
but the war is on
