like a child

hands and feet

skin and hair

flesh and bones

for a cross to bear

love and war

the stories you tell

to your friends and loves and kids

but you look like a child alone and at night

alone is right

tonight is the night

i walk unharmed without a single fight

don't stir up the beast

inside of me

got to keep those demons down

but your head stayed high

didn't stop to think twice

you know it blows my mind

consider place and time

thought life was hard until those red letter lines

this book's worn thin with places i've been

oh the truth would set you free

try to take it in

breath it in

while you're thinking

think about the walk

let us sink and hope you never feel like this

feel like. maybe it's not bad

it's just sad

sad to waste your

one chance at life

for a race that will surely die
