The Umbilical Cord

I know they say
Let them go
Let them breathe
But I can't disengage
It's written in my genes

It's only just that
We hold those
Too close to bear
For too long

(for too long...)

I know they scratch
At the walls
Till they bleed
And they kick
Down the doors
And spin off down the streets

It's only just that
We hold those
Too close to bear
For too long

(for too long...)
