He Is
He is empty. . .
No heart just replaced by an ice block
Love he gives be can't seem to receive
The tin man he calls himself
Looking for a heart to give it to another
Because all the past hearts have been broken into pieces
All going to different puzzles so he wants to start a new one
Since the ones he loved; some ex's, some friends, so family
. . .Never took time to actually love him
So he's heartless, feeding to break others hearts
Better yet turn it into stone from a stare like Medusa
Just because he wants others to feel his pain
To stand in his non-stop, continuous rain
That turns into hail. . . every time he tries to love
Because love just fails. . . no sight of a dove
To symbolize any little bit of peace
Only a dagger through a heart to symbolize hate
To for one, his dad ; who was never there for him
Left him and his mom in the cold, not literally:
But it felt like the coldest winter
Bread and water for breakfast lunch and dinner, for awhile
Bills on top of bills stacking to the roof in a pile
His mom is crying to try to find a way
A way she can't find on her own so she looks to the sky and pray
For the lord to shine his light and save them
And it pays off, and he, being the son, has grown into a young man
But yet even though the made it through the stormy weather,
He still has no love for his father. . .
He is a stranger. . .
A stranger to his father
Because his father never to the silent tick tocks on the watch to get to know him
His father doesn't know the real he because he himself doesn't know the real him
He lives life by watching time slowly go by in sow motion
Never knowing what road it will take him
He's walking blind, black shades and all
No direction just hoping not to fall
No compass just hoping to walk down the road that takes him to freedom
Because. . . He is. . . I guess trapped
Caged up like a tiger in the circus
Getting whipped even when he does well for the crowd
The cries from the tiger are loud but not loud enough
Tears of a tiger he waterfalls into a fiver that over floods on his face
No one can hear him cry so he's just stuck in this darkness
No light shinning jus trapped in a black hole no one can hear him
He is unheard. . .
So he lets the paper speak for him
An untold story finally told to the viewers getting them to know that
He is a young man trying to forget the past
Living with no regrets in the present
And hoping for the best in the future
Because all he can do is try to play cards he's been dealt with right
Never knowing where it will take him
Just hoping it will take him to the right direction
Believing strong faith will take him somewhere in life
So he holds on to it stronger then anything else
Knowing if he lets go, all that he's worked for will be nothing
Nothing at all. . .
He is me. . .
