The Child Songtext
von Apparitions

Manipulating the mechanisms of deceit
A fake name for insecurities
You hide so well and better than I do

My bones have ceased to comply with body movement
And I′m staying put
I've exposed this so take it or leave it
Run like you will
Run like you will

Not comfortable in this skin
Let me burn it away
And rebuild
It will bring harm to the house of the heartless
As I use my heart less
Innocence is absent
I′m ruined but I must rebuild

Cracked skin, dry, and boneless
Maturity lies at the heart of this


So let's put some truth to this
I have to put this to an end
You've used my electronic window
For far too long now to hide behind
We′ve seen your true colors
A child sown into the womb of the bitterness

Manipulating mechanisms of deceit
A fake name for insecurities
That you hide so well & better than I do

And when the sun sets
I hope we′re nowhere to be found
And I hope that I can't see you

I′m with your ghost now
I'm met with familiar smells
Nostalgia has gripped me
I′m with your ghost now
Paralyzed
Paralyzed
I'm with your ghost
