Broken Man

[Hetfield 0]

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!!!
