A typical story about a not so typical boy
We run and hide like children from the storm
When mommy calls on us like toys
An old man in mind beaten down and worn
The shadows fall apon us like curtains to be drawn
We whisper save us from the hidden corners
Behind the happy smiles, tears and frowns fall
We are the forgotten sons and daughters

A not so typical story about an angry young man
He sat behind his own prison bars inside and out
A life time of pain wanting out, but he just cant
For Fear and loss of judgment fills his mind with doubts
His smile is seen no more
Tears fill his eyes only
His heart locked behind closed doors
His life from day one only lonely
His mind filled with madness
Tossing and turning at night with silent screams
Those lonely nights bring back only sadness
But there is strength still left, one last dream

I sit here now writing this out
Hoping you all will hear the pain that I can’t shout
It’s a not so typical story about a not so typical boy
Placed on a shelf and forgotten like a toy
We are the forgotten sons and daughters
The scars on our bodies are your only reminders
I pray when you look at you’re not so typical child
That you will love them, and let their dreams run wild
If you give their dreams a barrier, then like you they will just be a failure

We are each one of a kind
Tell us you love us before you leave us behind.
You walked away after 24 years of pain
To imagine your voice makes me cry
The thought of your deeds drives me insane
The thought of you gone makes me die
Why oh why mother did you walk away

There’s just too much left unsaid
No place to be with you
No way to yell at the dead
A little boys love so true

You walked away and never said goodbye
A phone call ignored
And the next moment I died
You’ll never know how much you were adored
I watched your father cry for you
I watched myself die too

Just when you thought there was hope
You find yourself hanging from a rope
You turn your eyes to the sky
Beating the ground with your fist screaming why
They can never know what we feel
They can never help us heal
To die would be a blessing, so far longed
This house stone by stone crumbled and gone
Hatred cannot even come close to my hell
An immortal soul trapped in a mortal shell
Each of us is blind to the truths
It’s our dreams that bind us to these roots

I love you is so easy to say
Again it’s gone by the break of day
I’ll bring this world down around me
Burn every leaf from my tree
Torment every soul
Until I feel whole

Just when you thought there was hope
You find yourself addicted to another dope
You turn blood shot eyes towards the sky
Praying you won’t be next to die
They can never know how you feel
You'll learn life is a raw deal
To die would be a blessing, so far longed
Destroying them all for every wrong
Hatred cannot come close to my hell
Trapped here bleeding in this blood soaked shell
Each of us is blind to the truths
Held together by these blood-stained roots


If we stay here we all will surely die
So rest your weary eyes
To surrender ourselves one last time
But we always collapse to foolish pride
We all desire what we can never hide
That my friend, is what kept us trapped

We are the forgotten ones
My world stone by stone undone
The rain pours from the sky in shades of your eyes
Never revealing its true color for it always lies
You all have failed me in one way or another
Not a single one of you, not even my mother
Could ever fill this void slowly growing inside
I plead for my heart in tears to finally stop drowning
What is this emotion you have placed in me?
Nothing more than the seeds of disease
With a single blow we could crush them all
One by one to watch them fall
One man’s dream can remake history

Just when you thought there was hope
You find yourself hanging from a rope
You turn your eyes to the sky
Beating the ground with your fist screaming why
They can never know what we feel
They can never help us heal
To die would be a blessing, so far longed
This house turned upside down stone by stone, crumbled and gone
Hatred can’t even come close to my hell
An immortal soul trapped in a mortal shell
Each of us is blind to the truths
It’s our dreams that bind us to these roots

The finale score will be just
For those who turn your nose in disgust
Each of us is an immortal soul, in mortal shell
One to heaven for every nine to hell
