Back porch blues I’m seeing ghosts Skimming through The pages Burning bridges Searching For glory in my hell Unaccompanied Guilty innocence What a pity Had it all stripped just like that Orphaned That look in your Eyes that echos in pain The sad little Boy who cried Wolf and no one came Running to save him How could his parents Be so cruel Abandon him in the direst Of moments That would shape the sands Of time What would the future hold Wish I would have never known The answers to that Now a man struggling With what ifs All I wanted was to be a boy And enjoy my childhood Wondering where all the time went Wasting away In the distant cries Of a youth that took me under with it
