Child (I Walk Alone)

Child (I Walk Alone)

Never thought you'd get blood from stone

Well child you've never seen this heart of mine

It beats like thunder, booming on your eardrums

There's passion like fire in my eyes,

There's need like a freight train running through

my veins,

There's tears flowing with every word I speak,

every word that passes through my teeth

Anger feeds the fuse within me

that's why you find these arms empty,

I walk this world alone

So not to break your loving heart,

So not to hurt my head anymore

Love is a stranger to my name

hate the food I feast upon

and drink but never get quenched

of thirst on

Pain is your enemy, while it's all I've come to know

I walk alone

I walk alone

I'm untamed guilt and shame,

an imprint of human sin

nothing but a stain upon shattered innocence,

I'll never be (a child again)
