Maturity

(Lyrics by Scott)

Darkened, distant figure dances with the deadly light
Blinded boy he was, so the dark became his sight
Hidden from reality; comfort he'll never find
Forever foraging for himself in the corner of his mind

Maturity makes the man
Not just years gone by
It's a hardness of the heart
No tears for blinded eyes

Now decision made, the tables start to turn
In dancing darkened flames, the others start to burn
Deadly deed now done, reflected in white eyes
Silence falling slowly, drowning out their lies

Maturity makes the man
Not just years gone by
It's a face that faces death
A back that's turned on life

Maturity makes the man
Not just years gone by
And he takes, without regret,
His one and only breath
