Verse:
     E
Why did you steal the matches from 
the one room motel
Asus2
Once they gave you answers, now they
 give you hell
           E
They will never understand, they 
wonder where did they go wrong
     Asus2
How could you be so selfish, why 
can't you get along

Chorus:
           F#m           A
And as you pray in your darkness

     E               Asus2
For wings to set you free
         F#m           A          
You are bound to your silent 
E     Asus2
legacy

You've seen it in the movies and 
you've heard it on the street
Craving the affection your blood is 
full of heat
They don't listen to your reasons as
 original as sin
Deny all that you feel and they will
 bring you home again

And as you pray in your darkness
For wings to set you free
You are bound to your silent legacy

Your body is alive, but no one told 
you what you'd feel
The empty aching hours trying to 
conceal
The natural progression is the 
coming of your age
But they cover it with shame and 
turn it into rage

And as you pray in your darkness
For wings to set you free
You are bound to your silent legacy

You are digging for the answers 
until your fingers bleed
To satisfy the hunger, to satiate 
the need
They feed you on the guilt to keep 
you humble keep you low
Some man and myth they made up a 
thousand years ago

And as you pray in your darkness
For wings to set you free
You are bound to your silent legacy

Mothers tell your children be quick 
you must be strong
Life is full of wonder, love is 
never wrong
Remember how they taught you, how 
much of it was fear
Refuse to hand it down, the legacy 
stops here
