Lyrics
My Son The Lord, you have my eyes
You're energy will heal the crying
When you are born, i'll show you love
You'll come to see the world is more than a pretty place
You'll run away to play with dirt
The stains that itch will never hurt
Everywhere you turn, you see the smoke
The smiles are there but they're plastic
They melt away when it gets warm
and your wallet's empty
except for the cards of inspiration
that don't work anymore
They don't work anymore
Turning down the friends you once turned on
It stings your head
Take a breath, there's more to come.
When pain grows tall, look to the sky
If time can't heal, close your eyes
Show me your strength when they say you're gone
and you know it's them yet them outnumber you
so you're the freak
Try to explain with all your grace
When they don't hear, just turn your face and go
I'll show you how to deal with a world
that makes no sense, just dollars
The leeches will surround you
and drain you of perfection
when you should be a star
but the referees are blind
There's no doubt in my mind
This i will not allow,
My Son The Lord
Be still and sleep,
My Son The Lord
Always remember me,
My Son The Lord
Sleep forever
