He didn't ask for the darkness but it somehow got into his skin.
No damn good reason, witches brew he drank when he was a kid.
Followed by class photos, smile wide afraid to not fall in.
Mommy's got yer back kid, she brushes hair
and she tucks you in.
Mommy pulls the cap back
big boys take their vitamins.
But that's gone now, when did the turn take.
It was there all along to make him pay for them all;
the times he let it in, confusing it for courage (sturdiness)
But he's trying to learn to let it go.
Did he choose his shadow with some soap
and favored company to blot out his fears
or is it just the way it has to be.
Everyone's so perfect with their fabled lives
and pointed fingers, that throw out an accusing
I told you to leave it at the alter.
you should be like me, it's not gone if it's hiding.
It's not what they know, it's what they choose to show.
