From the Early Originals:
Lyrics:
Every now and then a child is born into a broken home or a family torn
They watch him grow, they see him smile and they hope everything will be alright
'He's gonna talk like us gonna do it our way, Say all the things we dont want him to say'
From a very early age you can see it in his eyes, He doesn't understand why his mommy cries
He watches as his daddy tears up the house, he takes another beating because he spoke to loud
His paths been written its contained in his scars, He's gonna be like daddy and end up behind bars
Drugs are just another way to hide his pain and the drink's gonna get him eventually
How can he protect himself he's just a boy, All he ever wanted was some love and some toys
This all seems like madness, A sign of society
That this boy could be tainted, this boy could not break free
It's a circle of destruction, A tragic history
Another painful story, Another not meant to be
So while we sit here thinking this could have been me
A young boy has no future because we refuse to see
The life outside of our own, the real reality
The boy whose life is over before he reached sixteen
People always say it's inside what counts but you tell them where your from and teir filled with doubt
He felt it early on when he lost his friends when their mothers thought that he wasn't good enough for them
Rejection was painful it reminded him of home and he knew he couldn't take it so he knew he had to go
Now you know how it happens he fell in with the wrong crowd and they didnt give him anything but they took his pride
So then the street became his master, the street became his friend, he knew he couldnt take it and he knew it had to end
He walked around the city looking for a spot, a place where he had silence and a place where he could rot
He found it in an alley way a doorway to his fate and he begged for forgivenes for the pills that he just ate
He felt a little sleepy and a sudden urge of pain, but nothing like the pain he had already in the end
This all seems like madness, A sign of society
That this boy could be tainted, this boy could not break free
It's a circle of destruction, A tragic history
Another painful story, Another not meant to be
So while we sit here thinking this could have been me
A young boy has no future because we refuse to see
The life outside of our own, the real reality
The boy whose life is over before he reached sixteen
So this is his story Another Faceless name
He's just the latest one and this will happen again (x 2)
