Strange child,
Do you speak?
Does your woe outweigh your potential?
Strange child,
Speak of the land
the lessons learned by your lovers hand.
The fever of infidelity,
and the decay of the day.
Speak of forever
learn of defeat
Crawl with the curious
Fall with the sleet
"Why must you pursue this path?"
To love the loveless
To rue the day you never did
Strange child,
Built on the face of forever.
