The Dumb

Loves their only son
Loves him dazed and dumb
Always calls them back
The art of the attack
Everyday it took
To do the best they could
Progress always slow
Imperfect passenger.

It never goes away
And every time you don't
You live the life you broke
How will I
Feed the lie
As the ache is always there
Well I won't
Be the shadow of limitations
Make it real make it love
Make it count letting go
And I'm dreaming
Head of gold, let it grow
How you live and try
You lay where the moon sets in grey and try
But the dumb never tells you why.

Wonder if they'll play
The pitcher's wearing shades
Dreams are growing old
Stories left untold
Say goodbye
Truth and lies
River flows and burns within our veins
Fires and trials, a lucky throw
Fell to pieces
Hands of gold are always cold
All that you said you dared
You tried, oh there's pity on their lips
You know, you tried he's flawed left behind
When the moon sets in grey you cry
But the sun never tells you why.
