"The Never Loving Child"

(Verse 1)
I tried to be what you wanted, kept myself in line,
Folded my edges, hid thoughts in my mind,
But every time you turned away, it drove me wild,
So I became the chaos, the never loving child.
(Chorus)
I’m the never loving child, lost and out of place,
Running through fire, leaving only a trace,
Burned through it all just to see your face,
I’m the never loving child you can’t embrace.
(Verse 2)
I took to the darkness, wore pain like a shield,
Broke every promise, nothing left to feel,
Cut my own heart just to bleed out loud,
Hoping you’d see me in the desperate crowd.
(Chorus)
I’m the never loving child, lost and out of place,
Running through fire, leaving only a trace,
Burned through it all just to see your face,
I’m the never loving child you can’t embrace.
(Bridge)
You looked right past, turned a blind eye,
While I wore these scars, too afraid to ask why,
But the hurt ran deep, left me defiled,
Just wanting love as the never loving child.
(Chorus)
I’m the never loving child, lost and out of place,
Running through fire, leaving only a trace,
Burned through it all just to see your face,
I’m the never loving child you can’t embrace.
(Outro)
So here I am, hollow and worn,
Left in the ruins of a love I mourn,
A fading voice, forever reviled,
Still searching as the never loving child.
