Lyrics
The Lost Boy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was born the orphan scorned
And raised to be some king
This throne I've known
I've wished on no one
A fool's crown I've reigned
I claimed the world
To lose my soul
Empty so it seems
A thousand ways to lose my tomorrows
Hanging from the headlines' screams
Hey mama, hey mama
Tell me why'd you make me
Hey mama, hey mama
Oh tell me why
I'm the lost boy
Can you help me?
Where is this love to save me
Come set me free
I'm the lost boy
Can you help me?
There's a son belongs to no one
Mama, it's me!
Is it just the peace I seek?
The truths between your lies
Hey mama, can you read me
From behind my crimson eyes
If there's a note that I last wrote
For all the world to see
Dead noses smell no roses
Hanging from my crimson strings
Hey mama, hey mama
Tell me why'd you make me
Hey mama, hey mama
Oh tell me why!
I'm the lost boy
Can you help me?
Where is this love to save me
Come set me free
I'm the lost boy
Can you help me?
There's a son belongs to no one
Mama, it's me!
