they gave you a lying face
white.... the color of death
when the hollow heart fell broken
in milliions that bought you.
a boy can not love or dream
in the gold chest of a loveless god,
or unravel the puppet masters
posing question, what are you?
when you are frozen within.
the heart is a little boy,
and the lost place crow black
picking out your dead make-up
as the music plays faster
and your burial is sold out.

the heart is a little boy,
and the lost place crow black
picking out your dead make-up
as the music plays faster
and your burial is sold out.
