There once was a small boy
I didn't know his name
I've never seen him with a toy
Nor playing any game

He always seemed so small
As if a wind could break him
Many times he would fall
Standing up again with a limp

I have never seen him smile
It was as if rain would never end falling
He seemed to be so fragile
Compared to his relatives, who were quite appalling


Whether there was sunshine or rain
If it was burning or freezing
He always looked to be in pain
Having a hard time with breathing

Vor langer, langer Zeit, da war einmal.
Als es dann war, war es vorbei.
Das war so kurz, da dachte man;
Ach wie schön es damals war

Wrap your fingers
'Round my neck
Your touch lingers
I'm a wreck
My skin flickers
Gaining colours
Blue prints glitter
Lasting hours

Make me scream
Make me cry
Make me feel
Let me dream
Of the sky
While I kneel

Let me hurt
Let me push
Let me bite
Take my word
Tell me hush
Soothe my fright
