I haven't been a child in a few years now responsibility always finds a way back somehow I slip and slide down a vertical wall but my horizontal race has no warning call I try to jump the fence try to scale the chain link but I'm caught in the past the present has me at the brink falling and scraping my knee still brings me to tears I'm a kid but I haven't been and child for years Kids grow up so fast these days we drive by young years and explore new ways we go from tripping to skipping to standing still we grasp and start gripping the screws to drill the thoughts of the others and reality into our heads   because no one wants to think for me I've hardly grown but I'm surrounded by fear cause I'm still a kid but I haven't been a child for years

Kid
I haven't been a child in a few years now responsibility always finds a way back somehow I slip and slide down a vertical wall but my horizontal race has no warning call I try to jump the fence try to scale the chain link but I'm caught in the past the present has me at the brink falling and scraping my knee still brings me to tears I'm a kid but I haven't been and child for years Kids grow up so fast these days we drive by young years and explore new ways we go from tripping to skipping to standing still we grasp and start gripping the screws to drill the thoughts of the others and reality into our heads   because no one wants to think for me I've hardly grown but I'm surrounded by fear cause I'm still a kid but I haven't been a child for years
What makes you a child?
