Deep under the surface I keep the love   Older and aware of a hidden universe   I pray to be young and pray to be inspired   But words of your tongue blister like fire      I can't let you go   Slow down, don't leave   Dying days of my youth   Overtake me      There is a glimpse of death in your eyes   I'm not prepared to let out those cries   I'll pray to stay young, soon will be expired   So lost in denial      I can't let you go   Slow down, don't leave   Dying days of my youth   Overtake me      Reach in her womb, sheltered from strife   Bearing the gifts and burdens of life   I pray to stay young but soon will be expired   An age of innocence long since gone      I can't let you go   Slow down, don't leave   Dying days of my youth   Overtake me      Those who are looking backwards   Chose to live as statues   Frozen, fractured   Youthful laughter fades      I can't let you go   Slow down, don't leave   Dying days of my youth   Overtake me      I can't let you go   Slow down, don't leave   The dying days of my youth   Overtake me
