The Way I Live: (Mother, Childhood, Adolescent Blues, Days are Like the Dark, Final Words)
"Mother"
Embraced, I feel soft
In the arms of my mother
As she sings to me.
"Childhood"
In this quiet field
Full of glee, I am running
Towards a blue sky
"Adolescent Blues"
The Clouds block my view
Like all the people swarming
Tear drops like the rain
"Days are like the Dark"
I sleep in the dark
Awake, I dream of sleeping
Unworthy of love
"Final Words"
No one to love me
This is all I'll ever be
Embraced, I can't breathe
