Collin Kravis - Pressed on the Fence Lyrics

Shield the children's eyes
Do not let them walk along the dotted yellow line
A shadow clutched a chain link fence
Along the asphalt drive
He doesn't seem alive
In the field where you once found me
In the growing dark I'm left behind
There is nothing left to do
Except apologize

I wish you believed in science
I wish I believed in anything
I wish our reality was not so prone to turning into dreams
No surprise I feel so anxious
Everything just moves too fast for me
I didn't see your lips
What did you say?

Like the acrid taste of metal
Shocking yet familiar the pattern presses in
Closely guarding all my secrets
Walled behind my cold unfeeling skin
I will let you all discover
Leave behind your ignorance
Time to grow up, time to think
Pressed upon the fence
