I Lost a boy

And now I look for him

Through every window

And behind every door

My son went down



This isn't trauma

It's not even drama anymore

I was born

With a sad song in my mouth

He gave me a reason to sing it



It's like this boy

Took all my clear cold nights

Left me hot and dry

And when he falls

I can't hear it



This isnt vodka

It's not even chocolate

I don't know how long I can stay straight

And still see straight

He gave me a reason to say it



Don't wait for pain

To find out you exist

Don't look for shame

Your better off without it

Life is unkind



This isn't candyland

I know you don't understand

So nice not to be ashamed

So nice not to be creeped out

Ice is unkind

'Till it freezes your enemies

Life is unkind

'Till it burns up your memories

Life is unkind



He gave me a reason

To live it
