Naive

We used to dance with the devil on a Saturday
Just so we could go and speak to God on a Sunday
You for me
Fear
You were my closest friend
And all I did for you is true
And I Iet you lie to me
But these walls won’t fall for you

To touch the sky
I’m feeling butterflies
Conflicted by the black and white
Colours what you held inside
Who am I
In this world of clones
Living in each others shadows
Afraid to be the person that our youth mourns
I’ve stood here before
And I’ve watched my brothers fall
Their silence speaks volumes
I don’t need to hear anymore
Lord I just pray for the sake of my family
Still sat by that window sill
In search of your gravity

I’m feeling more lights are going out
Tell me who you wanna be
You’re not the person I used to know
But I’m unsure to let you go
There was some more of the truth
I didn’t find
And if it’s you then it’s me
Turn your back

I’ve seen people change
And walk into different worlds
The past we framed
And left to dust by the window sill
This was never for you
I wrote this when I was 9
People fail to see your truths
I see the man beyond the blind
This pen in my hand
The shadow of mind
I never envied you once
I’m here for what’s mine
My mum taught me family first
Don’t try and be anyone else
I’m still the man of that house
God knows my presence is felt

We used to dance with the devil on a Saturday
Just so we could go and speak to God on a Sunday
You for me
Fear
You were my closest friend
And all I did for you is true
And I Iet you lie to me
But these walls won’t fall for you

I’m feeling more lights are going out
Tell me who you wanna be
You’re not the person I used to know
But I’m unsure to let you go
There was some more of the truth
I didn’t find
And if it’s you then it’s me
Turn your back
