Son you are no island
You don't get to choose what stays or goes
Son you're not a man yet
Until your yes, is yes and no, follows
Son you are no mountain
You and the sky aren't seeing eye to eye
Son you're not a man yet
You're just a first born feelings left behind
Son you are no ocean
Your sunken gold pervades your salty bows
Son you're not a man yet
You dove to save a child that must be drowned
You drowned to save yourself
You drowned to save yourself
Son you are no chasm
Your void holds no mystique to be unearthed
Son you're not a man yet
No womans arms could carry out your words
No not even hers
No not even hers
Son you are no river
Your currents don't run steady as she goes
Son you're not a man yet
You fucked with a woman who would know
I would know
I would know
I would know
I would know
I would know
I would know
I would know
I would
