Dying Youth

Deep under the surface I keep the love
Older and aware of a hidden universe
I pray to be young and pray to be inspired
But words of your tongue blister like fireI can't let you go
Slow down, don't leave
Dying days of my youth
Overtake meThere is a glimpse of death in your eyes
I'm not prepared to let out those cries
I'll pray to stay young, soon will be expired
So lost in denialI can't let you go
Slow down, don't leave
Dying days of my youth
Overtake meReach in her womb, sheltered from strife
Bearing the gifts and burdens of life
I pray to stay young but soon will be expired
An age of innocence long since goneI can't let you go
Slow down, don't leave
Dying days of my youth
Overtake meThose who are looking backwards
Chose to live as statues
Frozen, fractured
Youthful laughter fadesI can't let you go
Slow down, don't leave
Dying days of my youth
Overtake meI can't let you go
Slow down, don't leave
The dying days of my youth
Overtake me
