nearly man encroaching on my right
of way and branding
the battle scars of daddies latest lesson
little time for intuition little time for crybabies
come on son could you not take a joke
more sticks n' stones to break you

it's freezing in here can't even dress myself
lie awake still waiting on your
single bite of cherry for you
hold it in you arms
don't jeopardize what little you have
see any further than you're own four walls
and yours is not to question

and down the road a shining haven
rats thieves infant mothers
live around the corner from themselves
you'll never break that chain
will you

it's freezing in here can't even dress myself
lie awake still waiting on your
single bite of cherry for you
hold it in you arms
don't jeopardize what little you have
see any further than you're own four walls
and yours is not to question

question at all
clutch your pride and rot here forever
this all will run and run
no hope left for you to nurture
ma just wrote the ending years ago
way down the line
don't you run too far away from home
don't you trust what you have never known
don't go far
remember where you are
remember where you are

a single bite of cherry for you
