Still the slumbering fog rolls upon your face,  Unlike the trees as they bleed, behind the hidden bookcase,  Filling up the spaces in my mind I stand assertively to the side, with open palms gripping the hand of my wife As they speak to me that our son is no longer alive Letting go of a star whose brightness should of outlasted your own, Leaves me with nothing but shear terror, of the unknown,  Darkness can’t hold back the emotion in my mind,  Lined up in a row,  Being shot at  One at a time Just don’t let go Just don’t let go Thats all I ******* hear Nothing but the voice of my son, ringing in my ear I taught him how to steer He used to sit on my lap, and shift all the gears He went off to war, in less than a year and now he’s gone,  My heart is forever torn I wish I could hold him again Like the day he was born

My Son
Still the slumbering fog rolls upon your face,  Unlike the trees as they bleed, behind the hidden bookcase,  Filling up the spaces in my mind I stand assertively to the side, with open palms gripping the hand of my wife As they speak to me that our son is no longer alive Letting go of a star whose brightness should of outlasted your own, Leaves me with nothing but shear terror, of the unknown,  Darkness can’t hold back the emotion in my mind,  Lined up in a row,  Being shot at  One at a time Just don’t let go Just don’t let go Thats all I ******* hear Nothing but the voice of my son, ringing in my ear I taught him how to steer He used to sit on my lap, and shift all the gears He went off to war, in less than a year and now he’s gone,  My heart is forever torn I wish I could hold him again Like the day he was born
