With your ways and your beautiful face
I am convinced that this is the place
We cannot distrust one another
Stick in this cause you are my brother
All the children hang with a slit throat
Never enough slack is put on the rope
All I wanna do is look inside
You never had to run and hide

Cold nor mild
Depends on the child
Cold nor mild
The weaker spares the child
Cold nor mild
Depends on the child
Cold nor mild
The weaker spares the child

I wanna say that you are the meek
They stood back and never had to speak
I hope you like it when you taste the water
I hope you like it when it's inside your daughter
When am I supposed to know when I'm wrong
When you let this go on for so long
I wasn't the child with a hurt soul
But I do feel I was left in the cold

Cold nor mild
Depends on the child
Cold nor mild
The weaker spares the child
Cold nor mild
Depends on the child
Cold nor mild
The weaker spares the child

I want to know what you want to know
And they all wanna know what we want to know
So this comes and goes to show
Who do you trust your friend or your foe
I guess I was wrong I thought we were blood
All mixed up but what made the good
The ones that meant the ones that stood
The ones that mattered the ones that could

Cold nor mild
Depends on the child
Cold nor mild
The weaker spares the child
Cold nor mild
Depends on the child
Cold nor mild
The weaker spares the child

Cold nor mild
Depends on the child
Cold nor mild
The weaker spares the child
Cold nor mild
Depends on the child
Cold nor mild
The weaker spares the child

Cold nor mild
Cold nor mild
Cold nor mild
Cold nor mild
