Wrote this sometime while I was still in my band. I gave it to Nick (our
second guitarist and supposed singer, though he really can't...x.x) and he
changed it, but this is the original.

Was supposed to be a song, but I never came up with a chorus (unless it's
somewhere in here...)

Again, wasn't on very good terms with my mother, then. *shrugs* Proceed.

"Kid No More"

by Damascus Ochre

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I'm not a fucking kid no more
Stop acting like I am
(Stop treating me like one)
Don't wrap your arms around me,
Protect me from the world,
Because I probably know more about it than you do

Don't hold me back
Don't stop me
Because you can't
It's too late to change me now

Can't shut me up
I'm gonna scream

Not a kid anymore
Don't try to own me

Scars on my wrist
Signs of my suffering
Don't try to heal my wounds
(You're no healer)
Because they were caused by you and your stupid lies

Let me go
Don't hold me no more
Fucking useless
Can't control my life
It's not yours

You made your own mistakes
(Fucked up your own life)
Now let me make
(Fuck up mine)
Don't try to live my life
Because your turn has passed you by
Can't protect me forever
So just let go
