"return to innocence" track 1 of "VIEW FROM THE MOON" an EP by Clayton Joseph Scott

lyrics

"Return to innocence"

There’s an old man weeping in a parking lot
Tin cans in the alley
All the doors are locked

The night is electric
Shooting up in the dark
Spider webs weave up and down his arms

Smokes a cigarette down to the nub
Tries to remember the feeling love
Every single sound his night is on fire
indigo tattoos
plutonium desires

Was it ignorance?
Or indifference
his was a human life

May he return, to innocence

Cracks in the pavement
on easy street
Broken glass shatters images and dreams
No more baseball games
The town retired
Retreat into the bedroom
Blue screens lies

Simulcast blasts too big to ignore
Not another man will
Walk through these doors
The cathedrals have crumbled
The empire fell
Don’t need no mortar for a digital cell

Was it ignorance?
Don’t make sense
The blueprint
We Covent

May we return to innocence
to innocence
to innocence
to innocence


His diamond mind rusts
the hands of a child
Don’t feel the warmth of a mothers arms
Slips back again
Just a box on a form
to small to notice
To real to ignore

His face tell the story
Each line earned
In the belly of the dragon
Wields a sword of the world
Screams for mercy
But ears will ignore
Just a catalogue number at the city morgue

It was ignorance
and indifference
his was human life
No forgiveness
No redemption
No jury, No judge
No sentence
I said there’s no
forgiveness
No redemption
No jury, No judge
No sentence

When we return to innocence
