In The Path of the Stampede

Painted as the villain

Made out to be a monster

Hated by all, and yet your soul remains pure

Tortured to no end

Everything taken away

So much pain, and yet your heart is innocent

Your cheerful smile lies to me

It says everything's okay

If you'd just open up to me

I'd help chase your demons away

But you just have to face it on your own

So you push us away from you

To protect us, you stay all alone

No one to soothe the hurt you go through

So go and walk your own path

Keep your head held high

But make sure that path leads back to me

Please, Vash, don't make me cry
