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
