Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
There is a man in this world, who has never smiled
You may know his tragedy, the later years, by heart
In the beginning, there was a mother, a father, and a child
A troubled little silent boy, whose life they worked to destroy
Known to us from this day on by his father, Caleb..
His mother came up with such a clever way to save the day with a little white lie
He thinks he missed the point back then, but now he's grown to understand it, in a way
Father said "I'm sorry" only once, as I remember
The words were not meant to hurt, only destroy you, my stupid son
One person can make a difference, sometimes
Just turn his head when the kid is still and has a weak neck
[
Smiled at his funeral, "happy you're dead."
All his solutions, it seemed, were only problems in disguise
Glueing on his drinkin' face, got ready to erase another day
Mother was yet confident, although they had it tight, taught her son
At the end of every tunnel's a little light
It wasn't a lie, it was her hope, that everything would be fine one day
He can fulfill his every dream, I'm happy as long as he's not
Lost hopes, all those kind words could hurt him even more, now
Somehow, lost one more way back home
Out on the lake, he rows towards a monster he should've been running away from, years ago
The past had made him blind to the way he'd turned the pain into a way of life
(TIME CHANGE 6/8)
Over the hills, under the sea, fighting the will, whole Universe
Why does a man driving a hearse live in fear, Gift and a Curse
Taking 'em out, taking 'em all, shooting the wall, over and out
When nothing moves, all's well, a decision he can find a way to live with
...And dried up flowers are so beautiful
And it applies to all things living, and dead
For that I serve my time... in my suite in Hell
Now I ring the bell to tell the world
I'm ready when they bring out the soon to be dead against the wall
Oooh.. This necessary evil has no heart
Flowers and people he will now enlace
A price he must pay serving a cold ..whateverGod
