Half Hearted Boy

Disoriented beyond belief
I'm walking with stone tablets stapled to my feet
And when I see the pictures posted on the wall
It makes me want to scream in anger at what was never there at all

And I can hear birds sing
But I don't know what they mean
Still their melodies come straight and true
And as they fly across the sky,
I can see why they love to stay among the trees
And not walk around on their feet

Shape without form, shade without color
Paralyzed force, gesture without motion
Eyes I dare not meet in dreams

Walking through the forests filled with sand
Under my feet I can't catch the grip, I need your loving hands
I'd look up at your beautiful face through this half eaten heart
That you delicately left me with

Watching your hair blow through the wind
With a smile on your face
While I feel like shards of broken glass
I'm a half hearted boy with not a cause in the world
No one's ever here to protect me anymore

When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose
But I'm still tired of living in desolation row
I don't want to wait for the rest of my life
To see the holy spectacle where a mighty god lies

Shape without form, shade without color
Paralyzed force, gesture without motion
Eyes I dare not meet in dreams

But it's your eyes that I see whenever I lay down to sleep
Why should I try to build the kingdom
Without you it wouldn't mean a thing
And I'm missing every thing you ever said
Even though it wasn't much of anything
No it wasn't much of anything

Shape without form, shade without color
Paralyzing force, gesture without motion
Eyes I only meet in dreams

This is how the world ends
This is how the story ends
This is how your love ends
This is how your life ends

Not with a bang
But a lonely whimper
It's not with a bang
But a lonely whimper

This is how the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper
