Material Child

I am not your revolver
I'm not your revolving door
Take me out of your supply chain
I can't do it anymore

I am not your performer
I'm not gonna play that part
There are no delicate surrenders
In a battle for a heart

You were a material child who was only ever walking away
I was an unknown soldier marching toward an early grave
Wish I'd have known that you couldn't be saved

Interrupted connection
Church bells sounding alarms
Until we're just smoldering rubble
In each other's arms

Conspiracy theorists
Splitting the ends of our hair
Connect lines to imaginary dots
Looking for something that never was there

You were a material child who was only ever walking away
I was an unknown soldier marching toward an early grave
Wish I'd have known that you couldn't be saved

You wan't a reaction
I'm not gonna give you that
All the steps that I took with you
I wish we could walk them back

Broken heart mirror
Deepening the lines on my face
Another seven years of hard luck hard rain
Coming down on our parade

You were a material child who was only ever walking away
I was an unknown soldier marching toward an early grave
Wish I'd have known that you couldn't be saved
I'd have tried anyway
