Stop it, dear heart, it’s been too tough already

Stop clinging to fluffy clouds, take one route steady

Stop dreaming the impossible, stop being a fool

Stop ignoring your conscience, stop breaking The Divine Rules

Stop hurting your soul, for intentions non-sincere

Stop accepting games, start reading the signs clear

Stop believing every promise, it’s time to see

Stop following every fake shine, every momentary glee

Hold it dear heart, you don’t deserve to be used

You deserve no pain, how many times have you been abused

Pray for the peace you seek, and refrain dear heart

End your deep ignorance, and a clean page start
