Half Hearted Boy Lyrics

Disoriented beyond belief

I'm walking with stone tablets stapled to my feet

And when I see the pictures posted on the wall

It makes me want to scream in anger at what was never there at all

And I can hear birds sing

But I don't know what they mean

Still their melodies come straight and true

And as they fly across the sky,

I can see why they love to stay among the trees

And not walk around on their feet

Shape without form, shade without color

Paralyzed force, gesture without motion

Eyes I dare not meet in dreams

Walking through the forests filled with sand

Under my feet I can't catch the grip, I need your loving hands

I'd look up at your beautiful face through this half eaten heart

That you delicately left me with

Watching your hair blow through the wind

With a smile on your face

While I feel like shards of broken glass

I'm a half hearted boy with not a cause in the world

No one's ever here to protect me anymore

When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose

But I'm still tired of living in desolation row

I don't want to wait for the rest of my life

To see the holy spectacle where a mighty god lies

Shape without form, shade without color

Paralyzed force, gesture without motion

Eyes I dare not meet in dreams

But it's your eyes that I see whenever I lay down to sleep

Why should I try to build the kingdom

Without you it wouldn't mean a thing

And I'm missing every thing you ever said

Even though it wasn't much of anything

No it wasn't much of anything

Shape without form, shade without color

Paralyzing force, gesture without motion

Eyes I only meet in dreams

This is how the world ends

This is how the story ends

This is how your love ends

This is how your life ends

Not with a bang

But a lonely whimper

It's not with a bang

But a lonely whimper

This is how the world ends

Not with a bang but a whimper
