Listening to the little boy in blue 
Sing his heart out to me too 
And it’s like the feathers just fall from the sky 
And in everyone who lives I see the one who’ll die 
Someday, somewhere in the ether 
And you don’t need to look at me either 
Because I will share the same fate 
Watch the immortal walk out the gate 
Into the sunset sea 
The oblivion going down on me 
In a rush of darkened fuse 
You can read that any way you choose 
I’m not here to police the state 
Or say which words should equate 
To which affairs of the mind 
There were years I lived like I was blind 
Because I could not bear the truth 
And it was the years of my youth
You can’t live them backward, you’re forward facing 
And there are streets she is defacing 
With her rudimentary smile 
The one that would walk a mile 
In your shoes 
The one that believes in the power to choose 
But I gave my will away 
To something I cannot say 
Anymore 
And every door 
That ever opened closed in on me 
Now I let go so that he can be free 
And I see the truth bubble in his eyes 
And it’s like there is no disguise 
He hides from me 
It’s like it’s eternity 
He’s pointing to and from 
But the one who would listen is gone
