Little Boy
Breathing in the rust soaked air
Don't ever say I didn't care
I was never one to stop and stare
But that doesn't mean I couldn't see
Rain of ash and bitter cold
Don't know if I'll get to grow old
Abandoned, left out of the fold
So where does that leave you and me
Oh little boy
You were born into the machine
Saying things you never feel
About a world that's never real
Oh boy
We were just puppets left for dead
There's nothing left for me to say
No reasons left for you to stay
Never found, around and around, stuck in a soul-less dance
I'm sorry boy, we never stood a chance
We rest in beds of broken glass
And like all things this too shall pass
Among the weeds I lay held fast
As life plays out its melody
Silently the walls close in
I sleep forever lost in sin
A broken heart, a soul stretched thin
Now all that's left are memories
Oh little boy
You were born into the machine
Saying things you never feel
About a world that's never real
Oh boy
We were just puppets left for dead
There's nothing left for me to say
No reasons left for you to stay
Never found, around and around, stuck in a soul-less dance
I'm sorry boy, we never stood a chance
Sliding rocks and sinking sand
We watch it all burn hand in hand
Dust to dust we turn to earth
The new world grows at man's rebirth
Don't ever say I didn't care
I was never one to stop and stare
But that doesn't mean I couldn't see
Rain of ash and bitter cold
Don't know if I'll get to grow old
Abandoned, left out of the fold
So where does that leave you and me
Oh little boy
You were born into the machine
Saying things you never feel
About a world that's never real
Oh boy
We were just puppets left for dead
There's nothing left for me to say
No reasons left for you to stay
Never found, around and around, stuck in a soul-less dance
I'm sorry boy, we never stood a chance
We rest in beds of broken glass
And like all things this too shall pass
Among the weeds I lay held fast
As life plays out its melody
Silently the walls close in
I sleep forever lost in sin
A broken heart, a soul stretched thin
Now all that's left are memories
Oh little boy
You were born into the machine
Saying things you never feel
About a world that's never real
Oh boy
We were just puppets left for dead
There's nothing left for me to say
No reasons left for you to stay
Never found, around and around, stuck in a soul-less dance
I'm sorry boy, we never stood a chance
Sliding rocks and sinking sand
We watch it all burn hand in hand
Dust to dust we turn to earth
The new world grows at man's rebirth
