HALF A CHILD

What do you do when you just don’t care
And your most ugly thoughts take up all the air
And follow behind like a stray every where
Just close enough so you know they’re there

Chorus:
You wait it out
Don’t cry to me
You wait it out

What do you do when your heart is a mess
And you put yourself up to and fail every test
And can’t find the why in trying your best
When you’re strapped into life like a lunatic vest

Repeat Chorus

Well damn it hurts to grow older
When your slow narrow mind is stone sober
Your childhood dreams have grown over
You look to the places you’ve been
Your most fond memories paper thin
And you’ve got to squint to see
The nearer side of dim

What do you do when you’re just half a child
And you’re stuck on your self and too dumb to smile
And know all along you been wrong all the while
And the bad side of things is your crutch and your style

Repeat Chorus

What do you do when you’re too numb to cry
And you’re too scared to live and too scared to die
And turning to stone isn’t getting you by
And your people won’t help cause you hung them to dry

Repeat Chorus
