Hetfield 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2004 a little song i wrote when i was on a bus, i saw a bloke shopping for a headstone and for a moment my mind entered his and i felt an incredible sadness wash over me, ITs about dissilusienment and loss of all the good things in life from an early age to adulthood. Verse 1: There stands a broken man a bunch of lillys in his hand staring at the stone below letting all his sadness flow The worst feeling in this case is the look of sadness in his face his eyes they show the scars of life this constant and unending strife Chorus: Reach out before it is too late Dont let him fall, but dont isolate Stop him before he runs aground All he needs is his friends around Verse 2: Here lies a broken dream Caught up in lifes hopeless scheme snatched away by ruthles fate on friday of the 13th date dillusions of a boy as he outgrows his favrout toy the world becomes so cold and mean to this ever growing early teen Chorus: Reach out before it is too late Dont let him fall but dont isolate Cath him before he runs aground all he needs is his friends around And there lies a broken man The world has took him from his pram it tossed him round and made him old it cooled him down and made him cold It showed him how cruel life can be It told him what its like to bleed It dragged him up and let him go But now he doesnt want to KNOOOOOOOW!!! The End xx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
