come down here with us

we're not just sure how to relate to the likes of you anymore

you who see the world with childlike eyes

full of hope, glory, fun, and peace

no, that doesn't feel right to us

we've probably once been like you

but really we wouldn't know

back before we knew who we were

we gave up on this whole sad game

we said

"fear is a fact of life"

"no one really loves anyone"

"no one ever understands another"

"we are all alone here"

"we are unworthy to be known

and so is everyone else

so it's all not worth the effort"

so, please, if you like us at all

give us some peace, and

come down here with us
