Verse 1

The gap that grows between our lives
The gap our parents never had
Stop those thoughts control your mind
Replace those things that you despise
Oh you're old I hear you say
It doesn't mean that I don't care
I don't believe in it anymore
C# C*
Pathetic acts for a worthless cause
[Pre-Chorus] (x2)
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine 

Chorus

But now unforgiven, the everlasting everlasting  

Verse 2

The world is full of refugees,
they're just like you and just like me
But as people we have a choice
to end the void with all it's force
So don't forget or don't pretend
it's all the same now in the end
It was said in a different light
C# C*
destroys my days and haunts my nights
[Pre-Chorus] (x2)
