I board the train tonight
to run from the man that
appends all these years
on our lives to make us wise.
I was convinced I was not
innocent until tonight when
the truth, with a flare,
burnt the scales that were
paired to my eyes
and wrung them dry.
Would someone please hit the pause b***on,
please hit the pause b***on now that I'm here?
Would someone please hit the pause b***on
please hit the pause b***on 'cause I'm scared.
And, no I don't want to grow up and take on a
world that is so much bigger than I had ever known.
I'm just a child.
I killed a man tonight. It
was my first time in battle
for the country that asked
me to fight, so I fight. I
cannot shake from my brain
what I saw in his eyes. In
the moments I scoped out the
shots that would finish his
life my soul died.
Would someone please hit the pause b***on,
please hit the pause b***on now that I'm here?
Would someone please hit the pause b***on
please hit the pause b***on 'cause I'm scared.
And, no I don't want to grow up and take on a
world that is so much bigger than I had ever known.
I'm just a child.
I'm just a kid and I don't
want to grow up fast, I just
want to keep my shades on.
I'm just a kid. No I don't
wanna grow up fast, I just
want to keep my shades on.
I'm just a kid and I don't
want to drive your guns,
but I believe saving freedom.
I'm just a kid, but now I have
to grow up fast, so let's****
play and save the children,
our children, from this
to run from the man that
appends all these years
on our lives to make us wise.
