Youngest Child Lyrics

Pry open your lockbox

Peer inside

You'll find what's only mimicking the shape of

The monster you're afraid to admit you're afraid of

A withered face with scary teeth and blackened lungs

He tells tales of a future you fear you have no way out of

Broken

Dependent

Left struggling to let go of every preconceived notion

Like weight tied to your ankle

In an ocean of your own demise

Parasitic needs like leeches

Draining your veins of all motivation

Frightened by the thought of it when you said

"That was never my intention"

And you've been carrying that weight

Wandering in fugue states

Keeping your distance

Pushing farther away

I'll be waiting

I'll wait for every evening

Tell me what goes on in your head

You told me and I became

Frightened by the thought of it when you said

"I've examined what's left

The truth is

The truth is...

It's unrecognizable

And inherently cold"

Walking through your life

Guided in halls

You led me within your mind

Picking through the wreckage to find out why

"I can't seem to get it right

Why am I here again?

Can't escape my head

Hoped that I'd forget every single painful memory

Replays in my head endlessly again"

You said so quietly

It spoke volumes to me

And you've been carrying that weight

Wandering in fugue states

I'll be waiting

I'll wait for every evening

Tell me what goes on in your head

You told me and I became

Frightened by the thought of it when you said

"I've examined what's left

The truth is

The truth is..."
