Awake in Anguish

My children sleeping beside me
I can only give them a hollow comfort
They don't know what's awaiting them
I am simply to scared to tell

Another of these restless nights
I just stare out in the darkness
My mind can't settle with all my thoughts because
the panic grows from deep inside

What have we done?
Time is running out

Reaping what others before them have sown
Forced to carry the burden we couldn't manage

In this despair
they still don't know
And how should I
reveal what lies ahead

The dept we've left them to handle
is too great for anyone to pay
And while avoiding the obvious failure
they learn that everything they need can be bought

Reaping what others before them have sown
Forced to carry the burden we couldn't manage

What have we done?
Time is running out

My children sleeping beside me
Somehow they feel my trust and comfort
We can't solve anything from here
I can only go back to sleep
