Each day they shove him to the floor
And this is all he’s living for
And each resentful scowl is masking broken pride
The bruises turn him black and blue
And so it goes no light shines through
Unnoticed go the scars from hate and loneliness
He builds his own world in his head
He’s treated like a king
But his courtyard still stands empty
As he realizes there’s nothing to dream
He knows nothing of love
So how can he imagine it
There’s no hope left to dream of...
No occupations can disguise
His bitter face and somber eyes
Now will he jump or is he being pushed over?
The bruises turn him black and blue
And now you see no light gets through
Unnoticed go the things that make him shine the most
He builds his own world in his head
He’s treated like a king
But his courtyard still stands empty
As he realizes there’s nothing to dream
He knows nothing of love
So how can he imagine it
There’s no hope left to dream of...
