You want wisdom from me
far beyond my years...
Tears stream down my cheeks
this deluge will never cease...
What is the worth of a single tear?
a drop of blood...
Those three unsaid words
crash like thundering bells...
I wrap myself in a dark embrace
in hopes that that panic will subside...
You demand pure hearts
and clean hands...
You say you'll love me forever
you say you'll love me for always...
"you're so sweet"
"be careful, i cause cavities"...
I try to hold your fragile heart
in my gentle hands...
You're a line
and I'm a string...
Now i lay me down to sleep
i pray the lord my soul to keep...
You question my belief
i question me...
