I am the boy your mother wanted you to meet but I am

broken and torn with heels at my feet

And with your purest light why don't you shine on me

Now as she gets nearer, the visions get clearer

I'm kneeling, weeping. I will hold her dear

And oh,ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

what a crying shame, a crying shame

What we became

Murdered my throat, screaming bloody all night

Hit him with a book and how he crumbles

Oh you should have seen the arches tumble

Their golden no more, now I'm smiling in my blood

I'm caught in a whirlwind

I'm going to heaven

I'm standing on trial and it's painted on canvas

An eternal testament to how we are so animalistic
Am F C G C
And oh,ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

What we became

I bow my head in the morning light and say goodnight

Stumbled down the stairs and hang my self on high

And I started for the town that i have a front yard and died
