Spoil the Child - Black Book Lodge

We are all

Nothing once our hands

Close into a fist

That only speaks and never listens

A discord

Of incoherent thoughts

Sung by testy tongues

In languages that no one understands

Until we follow down the rope

From our head to our heart

We will never have to know

How far we are apart

Spoil the child

Spare the rod

And lead the light

So they won’t forget

Everything we ruined

Until we follow down the rope

From our head to our heart

We will never have to know

How far we are apart

Spoil the child

Spare the rod

And lead the light

So they won’t forget

Everything we ruined

We are all

Nothing once our hands

Clench into a fist

Insisting to be heard

At any cost

Until we follow down the rope

From our head to our heart

We will never have to know

How far we are apart
