Caleb (Live)

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 a father and a child
A troubled little silent boy whose life they worked to destroy
Known to us from this day on
By 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 tunnel's 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 I'm happy as long as he's 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 should've been running away from years ago
The past had made him blind to the way he'd turned the pain into a way of life.

Followed his father tucked him in Caleb knows the trade
He's 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 fear Gift and a Curse.

Taking 'em out taking 'em all
Shooting the wall over and out
When nothing moves all's 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.

"Now I ring the bell to tell the world
I'm ready when they bring out the soon to be dead against the wall "
Oo-oo-ooo
This necessary evil has no heart
Ooo-oo-ooo
Flowers and people he will now enlace
A price he must pay serving a cold
Whatevergod.
