25 years to date.
Five years young,
my life, left to be sung.
Five years young,
filling up my lungs.
Five years young,
Hearing the wraith of my mother's tongue.
Five years young,
I am already coming unstrung.
Fifteen years old,
I am different it was foretold.
Fifteen years old,
My emotions turned cold.
Fifteen years old,
My soul has been sold.
Fifteen years old,
My story still left untold.
Twenty five years to date,
Twenty five years too late,
Twenty five years full of mistakes,
Twenty five years and ready to break,
Twenty five years and rising the stakes,
Twenty five years and I'm still afraid,
Twenty five years and my bones already ache,
Twenty five years and breaking from this frozen lake.
