Boy

Once there was a boy
Like an open book
Who saw light could find it's way
Where violence never could
I'm ready for
I'm ready to
Once there was a man
Who felt beyond repair
When his heart had taken all
He thought it had to give
And I'm ready for
I'm ready
To open my eyes
And turn them to red
The one you should kill is already dead
So open my eyes
And turn them to red
I want to forgive
And to sever the rest
I've made this division before
Colliding with all that remains
When apathy's taken ahold
It's leading me further astray
