Tragic Child Lyrics by January Grit

2019

[Verse 1]
Pass the statue of mother Mary when you walk
She sees your heartbreak eyes, but she doesn't wanna talk
Soldier through the storm, march without a rhythm
Apathy is your Alcatraz, run from this prison
[Chorus]
Your bones are giving out
You’re grieving now
Falling on a fault line
You tragic child
Leave your life untold
You feel so old
But you're too young to die
You tragic child
[Verse 2]
Sit with your ghosts, haunted and defiant
Stay up 'till the sunrise, the sky will bruise violet
Turn your fingers into matches, let heaven be kerosene
Tell God you’re an arsonist, let your rage be gasoline
[Chorus]
Your bones are giving out
You're grieving now
Falling on a fault line
You tragic child
Leave your life untold
You feel so old
But you're too young to die
You tragic child
[Bridge]
Hide your hope in piano keys
Stay here and sing to me
Teach me all your melancholy
I'll teach you mine
Leave the lie, lie next to me
Show me what I can't see
Tell me all your history
I'll tell you mine
[Chorus]
Your bones are giving out
You're grieving now
Falling on a fault line
You tragic child
Leave your life untold
You feel so old
But you're too young to die
You tragic child
You tragic child
