Just a Kid
Walking into what seems to be the best
Locking into the excitement with all the rest
Blocking the nervousness because they said that I was blessed
So I went through the open door with emotions left unexpressed
They said that I'd do fine, that I'd always had it all
And as I walked across the skyline, I tried my best to stall
Because in the reflection of a puddle caused by the rainfall
I saw no sunshine, I saw no lifeline, and I'd become a lifeless doll
The thunder came and the windows shook
I can easily recall the blame that I took
Head hung in shame, I just couldn't look
At the world that suddenly become my own pageless book
The city in a flame, this was what I did
My excuses were so lame, the truth wouldn't be hid
I tried to give the disaster a name, but I couldn't get rid
Of knowing nothing would ever be the same, I was no longer a kid
Locking into the excitement with all the rest
