5. Fountain Of Innocence 

Fountain of youth, lifespirit flows 

into a well of truths, of cold and dim repose. 

I craved to be as high as the pillowy clouds, 

to walk amongst the tall, who used to look back down and frown. 

Chorus : 

Now here I stand by the wasteland, where our dreams began. 

From these once golden fields our curiosity ran... 

I chased the sugar claw through temptation's door, 

the bitterness I found...sweetness I taste no more 

From the play ground to the slayground, 

the sombre middleground absords the emptiness. 

Chorus 2 : 

Look back across the marble sea of discovery, 

a fountain of innocent flows in juvenescence. 

I'm resident in corridors of sentiment. 

I face the wall - discovery terminal, 

but there's no more false truths I wish to discover, 

and I am physically unable, to tread back down those corridors. 

Fountain of youth, oh how I bathed in your innocence, 

and now in cold repose, I must face the bitter truth...
