I'm not the oldest, the middle, the second, or the only child
I'm the lonely child
The child by itself
No friends, no love
I'm a prisoner in my own body
In my own mind
1 and 2
Look at you
By yourself
Feel pity for you
Not the oldest, but the youngest
This is for time
Climbing bridges
Climbing your own life
Staircase sinks underneath
No one comes for you
Sirens in the distance
Sirens run past
Parents screeching
Emotion leaching
Preachers preaching
And here I stand
In the empty land
In my head
Falling instead
