Mockingbird (For Aalia)

Maybe I’m just moving too slow or maybe you’re just moving to fast
The pendulum of growing so old has made a young child so sad
I wonder where my innocence go when I get a load of your lies
My inner child is losing its glow like graves of dead fireflies
I wanna fly, find serenity, my oh my
My inner peace is singing, what are you singing?
There were times when I thought as a kid the sun could burn the filth on my skin
And the sea could wash away all sins, a bird in your hand was a win
My heart never grew so old, my smile never looked so cold
These days it’s hard to stay afloat when your light is losing all the glow
I wanna fly, find serenity, my oh my
My inner peace is singing, what are you singing?
What are you singing?
Tell me how you feel about me, a friend of a friend
