lyrics

Bella was born with her eyes to the stars
Watching things from moving cars
Instead of TV she would make up games
Laughing and dancing without any aim

With crayons in hand she would color what she saw
To adults they were scribbles, but to her it was Renoir
She would talk to her friends through a toy telephone
In a language of their own she was never quite alone

Never grow up now, never grow old
Stay away from this cold and senseless world
The children awake and they are filled with dread
Cause things aren't as colorful as they were in their head
Never grow up now, never grow old
The days will pass by until you're left alone

Bella now walks with her eyes to the floor
She's got no time for daydreaming anymore
She watches TV for three hours each day
She doesn't sing, she doesn't laugh, she doesn't even pray

The worlds lost it's color, it's all black and white
It's hard to paint a picture when it's as dark as night
She goes to work each morning and sits at her desk
Hoping that the day brings something better than the rest

Never grow up now, never grow old
Stay away from this cold and senseless world
The children awake and they are filled with dread
Cause things aren't as colorful as they were in their head
Never grow up now, never grow old
The days will pass by until you're left alone

Bella is broken, shattered and washed out
Crushed by a weight like the sea
Starved for connection, ripe with repression
She takes the leap and fades away
