2 is acoustic.)

I'm pulling down questions from my shelf

I'm asking forgiveness

I ain't asking nobody but myself

and I want you to know this



--Break Riff--



and I want you to know this



--Break Riff--



You rightfully threw a box of toys

that were handed down to me

just take out the ones you brought and then

give the rest to my family





I'm gonna go back to school today

but I'm dropping myself off

I'm throwing the child seat away

I'm through ripping myself off



--Break Riff--



I'm done ripping myself off



--Break Riff--





I'm child and man and child again

the toy broken boy soldier

I'm child and man then child again

the boy never gets older

the boy never gets older

the boy never gets older
