There was a boy I used to know
Who had a lovely smile
His eyes would spark a dazzling blue
His gaze stunned all for miles
But now the boy has lost his face
Her never seems to care
He sleeps the day in alleyways
His train now leads nowhere
This loving boy I used to know
Possessed a caring heart
His dreams would someday give him wings
But we would not depart
But now the boy has lost his heart
His will, a fading fire
A soul no longer lives within
He's plastic parts and wire
The caring boy I used to know
Had friends he all adored
We'd play the day on busy streets
We loved, we laughed, explored
But now the boy is all alone
A sadness he can't see
His chilling heart kept love away
Now all who's left is me
The talented boy I used to know
Could sing and dance and draw
He painted all the beauty in life
For he painted what he saw
But now the boy has turned away
Now facing just the dark
His skin is pale, and cold, and dead
All matching with his heart
The living boy I used to know
Was active as the sun
His healing rays helped all the world
His life had just begun
But now he's thrown it all away
All thought, his joys, and fears
I know deep down he's still alive
I still can see his tears
He thought that it would help him
To turn off all he feels
But what he thought was out to kill
Was just a thing called Real
He never wanted to get hurt
He wanted to stay sane
He paid a price so dear and great
To run away from Pain
