For a friend.

I have a friend that made a lot of little mistakes, and those little mistakes gave way to an oppressed way of living, and that way of living gave way to a really big mistake, and now he's in prison for the rest of his life. My subconscious wrote this for him. Maybe it's from his perspective. Maybe it's just me being sad for him. 

I'll run a long way and make sweat pour down my face.

I'll make a big break and watch my world be erased.

Say farewell to the dreams that hover.

I'm a man you never knew and will never know.

Say goodbye to the dream that hovers.

It's a curse that hangs in rooms and jumps out windows. 

I won't be what you thought I would be

When we were younger and alive with young wonder. 

I won't eat my greens and I won't play fair.

I won't be what you thought I would be

When we were younger and alive with young wonder. 

We'll become soldiers and we will kill one another. 

I'll run a long way and make sweat pour down my face.

I'll make a big break and watch my world be erased. 

Say farewell to your little boy wonder.

He's a child that you never knew and will never know.

Say goodbye to the dream that hovers.

It's a cursed thing that hangs in rooms and jumps out windows. 

It'll make a man break.

It'll make a boy run until sweat pours down his face. 

It'll sober you up to forsake young wonder. 

You won't be what you thought you could be. 

I'm a boy locked up in the body of a man you'll never know.

I'm a man locked up in the shell of a world you'll never see. 

I say hello to the dream that hovers.

It's a cursed thing that hangs in cells and slips through bars.

It'll take a man from where he sits.

It'll break a man for the fun of it. 

I'm your little boy wonder now waiting alone. 

I ran to be free, but ran into myself. 

I'm a man that said goodbye to every long gone lover. 

But that dream still hovers.

That dream still hovers. 

...ramble on...
