this boy i know, he has a heart of glass
|
it is gold inside but it has crystalized
|
it is beautiful but in it's tragedy
|
it is hard to hold without shattering
|
he calls himself at night, in soft overchords
|
|
keeps coming back to it his voice in echo chords
|
till the sound's so thick it turns the sky to smoke
|
and the greyest days the predictions told
|
but this boy I know, he is pure of soul
|
just gets lost sometimes in his chemicals
|
under a coat of night, it's oh-so-comforting
|
and that first breaking light becomes his enemy
|
|
he calls so late tonight, it is 4 a.m.
|
he is drunk, he can't find his apartment
|
I don't like how it feels when i think of him
|
all hooded in black, lost and stumbling
|
the days start to fade out of the frame
|
like their blurring into to someone else's name
|
you try your hardest to rewind the tapes
|
but you're prepared everyday
|
to make the same mistakes
|
step out of that life
|
it's nowhere near your time
|
just remember you called it all bullshit
|
well, it is and if you stop giving into it
|
you can walk away the freest man
|
|
this boy i know lives in a bell jar
|
it is balancing up on it's pedestal
|
he tries not to upset the weight of conscience
|
afraid it's so far to fall if no one catches him
|
but I've been there too, and I swear to god
|
if I can help you, please, you've got to tell me how
|
I know you've been away, and it can break you down
|
and I don't want you gone
|
|
all the cracks you see can be repaired
|
and if you start to fall, we will be there
|
don't drown yourself in all your old regrets
|
because that heavyness will steal away your breath
|
step out of that life
|
it's nowhere near your time
|
and don't forget that you called it all bullshit
|
well it still is and if you stop giving into it
|
you will walk away the freest man
|
shake your head
|
loosen that grip
|
raise up your fist
|
you are the freest man
|
open your mouth
|
scream it out loud
|
forget all your doubts
|
you are the freest man
|
