Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jon Mess] Past and present are fleeting, gripping me Nothing sections, wasted, infection, and breeding Squashed and filed away, vacant collapsible piece of time Squashed and filed away inside my mind Suspended moments stored Stored and left unread [Chorus: Jon Mess] Was I ever a child before? Was I ever a child before? I bore, the burden and bear the gift, and spread the sore Was I ever a child before? Was I ever a child before? Banal, stripping layers, an invisible coursing war [Verse 2: Jon Mess] A slave to believe in always looking back Nothing has beaten meaning, based on fact Fatal blow, fatal blow indeed Fatal blow, fatal blow [Chorus: Jon Mess] Was I ever a child before? Was I ever a child before? I bore, the burden and bear the gift, and spread the sore Was I ever a child before? Was I ever a child before? Banal, stripping layers, an invisible coursing war [Outro: Will Swan, Jon Mess] Tethered, resent me Tethered, resent me Tethered, tethered Tethered, resent me Tethered, resent me Tethered, resent me Tethered, resent me
