The Child Was Gone 

 

 

I'm hiding in the past
When the world was mine for a minute
And with a child's eyes I lied

He held me in December, hated me after
No one seemed to notice 
The child was gone

I was in an odd state where I knew it was wrong
But I couldn't go back
I had to move on 

I was falling down an open crack
Now I'm in too deep and can't climb back
I don't know where I am 

Come along with me my only friend
We'll smoke a joint 
I know it's stupid but it eases me

Fly with me to the movie world
Where the real world can't burn me
And even if it did, it wouldn't matter anyway
I'm too far gone

And no one seemed to notice.
