A Child Without A Song

I'm drowning in ecstasy

Yet the moment shall soon pass

Are you here to comfort me?

Is this a call back from the past?

Have you finally noticed before you

The blood we share as two?

Have you realised you're my brother?

Have you come to see me through?

For this is the eternal slumber

Of a child without a song

Without a bed to go to

And without a prayer to say

This is the eternal sleep

Of a child who doesn't belong

Without a family to love them

Or to whisk their cares away

Have you come to understand

I'm not the one at fault?

Are you planning on giving me a second chance?

Or is it that you won't?

You and I share a memory

That was savaged long ago

A family brought to its knees

We share an ultimate low

I know I was never strong enough

To win over your affection

I know the life I lived was tough

While you settled for perfection

But you're the elder and wiser

And I wanted to be by your side

I never knew you were a liar

And your heart had long since died

For this is the eternal slumber

Of a child without a song

Without a bed to go to

And without a prayer to say

This is the eternal sleep

Of a child who doesn't belong

Without a family to love them

Or to whisk their cares away

You and I are reflections

Of the children we once were

A wall trapping our affections

Our souls beginning to stir

For we have not confessed

The bond, the past we share

My mind has been laid to rest

For I know you never cared

I was the one

You threw aside

I was the one

Who would run and hide

I was the one

You hated, despised

I was the one

Who whispered goodbye

For this is the eternal slumber

Of a child without a song

Without a bed to go to

And without a prayer to say

This is the eternal sleep

Of a child who doesn't belong

Without a family to love them

Or to whisk their cares away…
