Kiddo I slipped up.
I made a mistake.
There was so much to do that I,
Too heated by the flame,
Inevitably did burn.
Kiddo I slipped up.
I fucked this bad.
My brain turned to ashes
My lungs spoiled then expired.
Kiddo I slipped up.
I know time can't be forgiven
By that cowardly voice that rattles
Like a snake in our brain
Sinking its venom into us with its fangs.
Kiddo, God oh God,
I wish I could say it didn't
But this one this just missed its mark
And now that guilt which cripples
Will creep in and slaughter in the dark.
Kiddo I slipped up.
Forgive my carelessness
I knew it would cost me, us--
But I kept pushing too hard, too far on.
My mistake was bringing you along.
