Criminal - Ben Jelen

Leaving waves of lies behind
No time to contemplate 
Sailing ships of solitude
I never let the sadness dissipate 
Leave behind an angry anchor 
It’s never too late 

I guess it’s in a time like this 
The winds would blow the other way 
Sailing through a sea of doubt
I have the time to contemplate 
A world so harsh to face and lies so commonplace 
We’re insecure ’cause we want more 
What about the time before? 
Was it ignorance? 
We said never again 

I’m a criminal 
I turn away when I know what’s going on 
My children will ask me, “How did you ignore” 
If you really don’t see
Then open up your eyes 
’Cause its glaring out in front of me 
I’ll go by myself 

I guess it’s in the times like these
When the winds are fake 
When I wish we’d sail together
Take these empty seas away 
In a world so harsh to face and lies so commonplace 
We’re insecure ’cause we want more 
What about the time before? 
Was it ignorance? We said never again 
Was it ignorance or innocence? 
Aren’t they really the same?
