Youngin (for my son)
I don't want to light your way
I don't want to hold the flame for you
As long as you're kind, okay, okay
Don't you worry, don't worry, don't even worry child
If you're soft it's not a problem, got a butterknife
If you're not then face the current strong and get the life that you deserve
Nobody learnt a lesson off the riverside
Summertime, live your life, butterfly, shimmer, shine
I'm just hoping you find a fortress, I think they call it a calling
A place you can find some warm and
I made my mistakes so that you don't, won't pass them to you in the morning
With self esteem always falling and memories way they're crawling round my head, don't want you waking always faced with what you should've done
When your heads spinning I'll listen hope anger doesn't imprison us
know you're filled up with the fire in your father's blood
Part of us, grandfather was hard as fuck
But art is in your arteries, impart this in regard to love
As hard as luck can be, keep perspective hope you see
you're as much a part of me as my heart and lungs
I don't want to light your way
I don't want to hold the flame for you
As long as you're kind, okay, okay
I don't want to light your way
I don't want to hold the flame for you
As long as you're kind, okay, okay
If all my imperfections take effect,
I hope The edges of my silhouettes are safe from cigarettes I've smoked
Or else you'll struggle with the same passions tugging on your brain
Catching little bits of pain and casting them a foot away
Is not the way it always finds its way to you
Stare it in the eyes and slay the dragon, gotta face the truth
I know it gets hard, stare into them pitch dark corners if you're searching for the answers that's the place to look
I don't care, I don't care,
Anytime, anywhere
By a mile, by a hair
However you're getting there
By the lift, by the stairs, I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care,
Anytime, anywhere
By a mile, by a hair
However you're getting there
By the lift, by the stairs, I don't care
As long you know you're enough
It's no shame if you're opening up
To the world, stay with yourself you're worthy of love, cliche I know, I say this because
That deepest part of you that only you know is the truth
So you don't have change it, just embrace it, love it how I wish I could
I don't want to light your way
I don't want to hold the flame for you
As long as you're kind, okay, okay
I don't want to light your way
I don't want to hold the flame for you
As long as you're kind, okay, okay
Okay
