Jaded Joshua

Close your eyes
Now you can open them
There between your fists a scrap of paper said
That the road rose
To meet the path you chose
And your cheeks exploded into roses

Jaded Joshua
How'd you get so cold
Jaded Joshua
Just eleven years old
Jaded Joshua
What became of you
Did you make it through

Pleased to meet you
I think we will be friends
We'll talk of consciousness and the endless war
And how science
Strips beauty free of truth
As your cheeks spread across your lower jaw

Jaded Joshua
How'd you get so cold
Jaded Joshua
Just eleven years old
Jaded Joshua
What became of you
Did they get to you

Oh close your eyes he said
Now you can open them
And there between his fists this
Scrap of paper said that the road rose
To meet the path he chose
And his cheeks exploded into roses

Jaded Joshua
How'd you get so cold
Jaded Joshua
Just eleven years old
Jaded Joshua
What became of you
Did you make it through
