His mother came up with such a clever way to save the day with a little white lie
Em B5 C D5 A
He thinks he missed the point back then, but now he's grown to understand it, in a way
Em Bm C D5
Father said "I'm sorry" only once, as I remember
Em Bm C D5
The words were not meant to hurt, only destroy you, my stupid son
Am B5 C D5
One person can make a difference, sometimes
Am B5 C D5
Just turn his head when the kid is still and has a weak neck
[NC]
Smiled at his funeral, "happy you're dead."
Em B5 C D5 A
All his solutions, it seemed, were only problems in disguise
Em B5 C D5 A
Glueing on his drinkin' face, got ready to erase another day
Gm Eb Gm Eb Bb
Mother was yet confident, although they had it tight, taught her son
Cm D
At the end of every tunnel's a little light
Gm Eb Gm Eb
It wasn't a lie, it was her hope, that everything would be fine one day
Bb Cm D
He can fulfill his every dream, I'm happy as long as he's not
Eb F G D
..I hate it and fear can't face it
Eb F G D
The child is not right, he's my greatest shame
Eb F G D
Go out, create thunder, and stand right under
F G A
That old apple tree where dead snakes let him feed on those
Bbm Gb Ab Db Bbm
Lost hopes, all those kind words could hurt him even more, now
Gb Ab Db Db/C
Somehow, lost one more way back home
Em B5 C D5 A
Out on the lake, he rows towards a monster he should've been running away from, years ago
Em B5 C D5 A
The past had made him blind to the way he'd turned the pain into a way of life
Gm Eb Gm Eb
Followed his father, tucked him in, Caleb knows the trade
Bb Cm D Gm
He's the portrait of a man his mother drew to hate forever
Eb Gm Eb
She was a beast, a deadly saint, wrong in many ways
Bb Cm D
Wanted to keep up the charade, until the end waltzing together
(TIME CHANGE 6/8)

End...
There is a man in this world who has never smiled
You may know his tragedy, the later years by heart
In the beginning there was a mother, father and a child
A troubled little silent boy whose life they were to destroy
Known to us from this day on like his father, Caleb]
His mother came up with such a clever way to save the day with a little white lie.
He thinks he missed the point back then, but now he's grown to understand it, in a way.
"Father said "I'm sorry" only once, as I remember"
"The words were not meant to hurt, only destroy you, my stupid son..."
One person can make a difference, sometimes...
Just turn his head when the kid is still and has a weak neck.
Smiled at his funeral, "happy you're dead."
All his solutions, it seemed, were only problems in disguise
Glueing on his drinkin´ face, got ready to erase another day...
Mother was yet confident, although they had it tight, taught her son
At the end of every tunnels a little light.
It wasn't a lie, it was her hope, that everything would be fine one day
"He can fulfill his every dream, Im happy as long as hes not."
"I hate it and fear can't face it
the child is not right, he's my greatest shame
Go out, create thunder, and stand right under
That old apple tree
Where dead snakes let him feed on those
Lost hopes, all those kind words could hurt him even more, now
Somehow, lost one more way back home
Out on the lake, he rows towards a monster he shouldve been running away from, years ago.
The past had made him blind to the way hed turned the pain into a way of life.
Followed his father, tucked him in, Caleb knows the trade.
Hes the portrait of a man his mother drew to hate forever.
She was a beast, a deadly saint, wrong in many ways
Wanted to keep up the charade, until the end waltzing together
Over the hills, under the sea,
Fighting the will, whole Universe
Why does a man driving a hearse
Live in a fear, Gift and a Curse
Taking ´em out, taking ´em all,
Shooting the wall, over and out
When nothing moves, alls well,
A decision he can find a way to live with
... and dried up flowers are so beautiful.
And it applies to all things living, and dead.
For that I serve my time... in my suite in Hell.
[Solo]
"Now I ring the bell to tell the world,
I'm ready when they bring out the soon to be dead against the wall ..."
This necessary evil has no heart
Flowers and people he will now enlace
A price he must pay serving a cold
... whatevergod.
