Lyrics NIKI – Little Souls

8 years old we’re told «you’re too young to unlearn how to smile and hate the world»
8 years from now on you’ll forget the art of care freeness and little girls
So 6 young hearts kick start and venture into a labyrinth of question-marks
Mischievous wide-eyed we had nothing to hide

We dream of superpowers, meteor showers, climbing towers, magic, mermaids, flying ship and finding home
In our unlocked golden coffer all we had was love to offer
A currency that once was just enough
Guess we grew up

These days we’ve ceased to give a frail and feeble damn
We’ve got new, better plans
Crystal clear each year since June of 2010
We’ve grown cavalier and bland

We used to dance in rainstorms fight our battles, win the whole war
We spoke in flames and held hand while we burned
Now all we ever do is vomit, apathy, we mop it with apologies
«I’m sorry’s I worry, I worry we grew up»

Things have changed and minds have aged
We’re so far in this unfeasible maze
When, did black and white decide to propagate
‘Cause everything now seems so gray

We’ve forgotten the beats of our own drums
We’ve lost touch of tunes we used to hum
We smell of sin and no longer bubblegum, our session is yet to come

We’re houses with water-stained walls
We’re standing but no longer tall
When did we stop having a ball? I don’t recall. I don’t recall

Here we are so far we’re walked a lonely road, we’re like nomads finding home
But somewhere for inside the 8 years old reside whispering «you’ll be all right»
So let us live let live for give and hope we don’t fail the souls we used to know
