Christ, Child

John Edward Smith Jr.

after you cry
we'll go for a ride
then we'll crumble and hide

and wish that you died

Christ, Child

Madness in my blood
blood in my eyes
nothing compares
to this semblance of life
I'd come if i could
but I'm frozen with fear
of what I could do
with you lying so near
