Dying Youth - 10 Years

Deep under the surface

I keep the love

Older and aware of A hidden universe

I’ve prayed to be young

And prayed to be inspired

The words of your tongue

Blister like fire

I can’t let you go Slow down, don’t leave

Dying days of my youth

Overtake me There is a glimpse

Of death in your eyes

I am not prepared

To let out those cries

I’ve prayed to stay young

But soon will be expired

So lost in denial

I can’t let you go Slow down, don’t leave

Dying days of my youth

Breach in her womb

Sheltered from strife

Bearing the gifts, and burdens of life

I’ve prayed to stay young

But soon will be expired

An age of innocence, long since gone

I can’t let you go Slow down, don’t leave

Dying days of my youth

Overtake me Those who are looking backwards

Chose to live as statues

Frozen, fractured, youthful laughter, fades

I can’t let you go Slow down, don’t leave

Dying days of my youth

Overtake me I can’t let you go Slow down, don’t leave

Dying days of my youth

Overtake me
