Verse 1
Left behind
And fading fast
Born first
Yet always last
I’m no one's future
Without a past
Peace and quiet

It won't last
Chaos that doesn't care
Approaching fast
As their disdain
Not even bothering to mask

Chorus
Child unwanted

Haunted by a past
Barely in
Surrounded by the sin
Of a family unworthy

Their fate coming fast

As another day fades to black

Verse 2
While the family sleeps
The child weeps
On the cold hard floor
Wishing for it
To be over
Always their fault
Just because they're older
Tortured by their brothers
Neglected and unloved
By their mother and father
They can take it no longer
They find the gas can
And light a match
Smiling they then walk away
As the enemy fades to black

Chorus
