Child

Rachael Sage · Public Record [2003]

Where did my body go the night that my soul gave in

fell from that high window into burning skies

Where did my body go the night that my soul gave in

fell from that high window into God's eyes



Answer me that question and you'll get the biggest kiss

you have been waiting for for your whole life

Answer me that question and you'll get the biggest smile

you have been waiting for since you were a child



Where did my spirit go the night that my soul gave in

fell from that high stairwell into stranger's arms

Where did my spirit go the night that my soul gave in

fell from that high stairwell to sounds of alarms



Answer me that question and you'll get the biggest kiss

you have been waiting for for your whole life

Answer me that question and you'll get the biggest smile

you have been waiting for since you were a child

since you were a child

since you were a child



When you were a child

did you think about things

you thought in your lifetime

you'd never see

When you were a child

did you think about monsters

When you were a child

did you think about things

you thought in your mind

would be only bad dreams

nightmares... truth-dares



What is this emptiness

so deep inside my chest

Feels like its poisonous

won't disappear

Could this be history

trying to cradle me

If so her her lessons are

ephemeral at best
