no child of mine

Lonely thought in the dark
Starts to crackle and spark
In the corner of the mind
And how it blossoms over time
Now you shine too bright
Turns to ashes and dust
The things that you touch
Might slowly combust
I
Hide my face in the rain
The mundane and the strange
The joy and the pain
I embrace it all the same
Slave to your habit, you're still tugging on this chain
Shit will never be the same
I'm
A flock of birds that's leapin' in the trees
But inside you still fall like autumn leaves
I'm
The fog on the window, on the train ride home
She told "you should let go"
Five minutes in the longest night of your life
With your head held high
Blow a smoke in the sky
Alcohol in the air
Pictures flicker in the mind
Faces fade over time
Live long enough you see a truth become a lie
I said
Live long enough you see a truth become a lie
Live long enough
