Growing

Years of simply growing to the light by the window barred and small
Nobody came to greet me, nobody came to meet me
Nobody came at all

Years of simply growing to the light understated as my truth
I was a student of a rough-hewn
I was a lover in a dorm room
Now I'm not

Oh, I'm sitting there
I'm certain everything I know is a lie
Oh, I'm sitting there
I'm certain everything I know is a lie

Bad behavior put me in the dark, I'm a solitary son
I know exactly where the times goes
And how the ticking in my mind slows

Oh, I'm sitting there
I'm certain everything I know is a lie
Oh, I'm sitting there
I'm certain everything I know is a lie
