The Deflators - 2nd Child Lyrics

Come back to me second child
I know what's in your mind
Why you are - in a rage
Your afflictions on parade
When you vanish like a ghost
You hurt the ones who love you most
Save it for another day
Provided you are just afraid

Stay if you want
I know you'll leave
It doesn't hurt when I don't breathe
I know your pain
I know your anger
Blood in the water is just children's laughter

Come back to me second child
Behind the rainbow where you hide
Where my words cannot reach you
Where the influencers teach you
Your companions on a screen
But what do you do in between?
Have to wonder if they're real
And if they'll ever let you heal

Stay if you want
I know you'll leave
It doesn't hurt when I don't breathe
I know your pain
I know your anger
Blood in the water is just children's laughter

Come back to me second child
Tell me what is on your mind
Together we can turn the page
Don't have to be this afraid
Remember that I love you most
Even when you feel you've been provoked
Forgiveness is the only way
Don't pull me close and push me away
