I look deep in the eyes of my son
They were wide with newness and wonder
Overflowing with questions I know that I can't answer
How many steps will he take till he falls?
How many times will he walk into walls?
Will he take the high road or have to learn the hard way?
Is there a difference between what could be
And the example he sees in me?
It's an invisible hell and I know that I can't save him
'Cause I got water on the brain
Naked in the rain
How can I explain to you
My madness is my mission
Don't wanna do that to you
Stubbornness and fear
Bitterness and tears
After all the years go by
I can't give up on this one
Don't wanna do that to you
Now he's growing up fast and I see myself
Before the damage set in and the other shoe fell
Wait till he finds out the lessons go on forever
I look back at the years gone by
They disappeared in the wink of a bloodshot eye
And no matter how hard I try
It's all for nothing
'Cause I got water on the brain
Naked in the rain
How can I explain to you
My madness is my mission
Don't wanna do that to you
Stubbornness and fear
Bitterness and tears
After all the years go by
I can't give up on this one
Don't wanna do that to you
And what if it should be my legacy
To do my best and only leave you the worst of me?
Oh no
Don't wanna do that to you
Don't wanna do that to you
Is there a difference between what could be
And the example he sees in me?
It's an invisible hell and I know that I can't save him
No, I can't save him
'Cause I got water on the brain
Naked in the rain
How can I explain to you
My madness is my mission
Don't wanna do that to you
Stubbornness and fear
