‘LESTER

That tiny bit of arrogance
On a new awakening
I’ve always known the difference
Since I was a weakling
Hid safely, the sound of silence
Ignores the anger’s wrath
Reflections in the mirror
Ghosts stand behind the past

What did you do to that little boy
What did you do to the broken toys
What did you do to the grasp of time
What did you do to this soul of mine
What did you do with the time you stole
What did you do at the bend in the road

Those tiny little pieces
I found in later years
Useless sad excuses
Are worthless in the mirror
Since I’ve been a shadow
I’ve seen every single flaw
Remembered every battle
Still feel every bitter loss

I know the way they look at me,
Some things will never change
Burn my soul in effigy
I live with what remains
In my eyes an empty life
Stares lonely back at me
In disguise the wasted time
Steals what it can’t keep

What did you do to that little boy
What did you do to the broken toys
What did you do to the grasp of time
What did you do to this soul of mine
What did you do with the time you stole
What did you do at the bend in the road
What did you do to that little boy
What did you do to that little boy?
